Thank you Walker books for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
Flossie Birdwhistle is the Turnkey at London’s Highgate Cemetery. Seven years have passed since Flossie saved her country from a ghostly invasion during World War II. Since then, things have been quiet. That is, until Flossie’s nemesis, Hugo Howsham, reveals a secret the pair have been keeping – the keys of the Magnificent Seven cemeteries can be combined to make a Turnkey not only mortal, but immortal. When Hugo Howsham begins stealing keys, the other Turnkeys turn against Flossie, trusting her no longer. With family, friends and her cemetery in danger, can Flossie find the inner strength to protect everything she has ever cared about?
Review:
Holy toleto BATMAN! THIS WAS AMAZING
No really I love this. I am almost at the stage of awe where I would love to meet Rusby and bow down at her feet.
How does she do this? The creepy element mixed with adventure and your heart hammers in your rib cage?!?! This is ultimate writing goals. I love it. I BOW DOWN TO YOU MIDDLE GRADE GODDESS OF BOOKS!
I might be a little obsessed, but within good reason. The Seven Keys is the sequel to The Turnkey and you revisit your favourite characters living out their dream dead lives in a cemetery with Flossie as the key keeper. All seems when and good until an old acquaintance of Flossie’s returns with the threat to change everything.
Okay. There is honestly nothing negative I could write about this book. The plot was brilliant. The writing stabs me in the heart with amazement. The characters are gorgeous. Overall the whole book was just breathtaking and I absolute love Rushby’s work and you need to read it!!!!
