Summer's Shadow by Anna Wilson

Find out about the inspiration behind bestselling author Anna Wilson's new book Summer's Shadow, set in West Cornwall....

When Summer's mum dies, everything she thought she knew about her life is thrown into disarray. She has to go and live with relatives she has never heard of before, far from her own home in London. The house is large and rambling and Summer is sure it is haunted....

....but is Summer really seeing ghosts, or are the shadows of her own family's past catching up with her? With the help of a boy called Zach whom she meets on the beach, Summer begins to piece the puzzle together.

Summer's Shadow started as a summer holiday journal, so Anna will be talking about how writers get their ideas, focusing the importance of journal-keeping in her own work.
