The Witching Stone by Danny Weston - Digital Pack

UCLan Publishing have created a spooktacular digital pack of videos and discussion points to help you and your pupils enjoy the new YA coming of age horror story from Danny Weston.

For Alfie Travers, a summer away from his now ex-girlfriend can not come quick enough, even if it means tagging along on his dad’s dull work trip to the village of Woodplumpton, Preston.

Shortly after arrival, Alfie strolls off to see what the place has to offer. Not much, it seems… until he chances upon a girl called Mia in the church graveyard.

She shows him a strange gravestone, said to cover the remains of alleged witch, Meg Shelton. ‘Walk around the stone three times whilst saying, “I don’t believe in witches” and Meg will come after you.’

Alfie takes the challenge and his moment of daring spells the return of the vengeful witch. The only way to save himself – and his friends – is to give Meg whatever she desires…

BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT…

In this pack you have access to the jacket image, Book Club Discussion Guide and videos.
