Groosham Grange

By: Anthony Horowitz

Narrated by: Nickolas Grace

Thirteen-year-old David Eliot was a disappointment to his parents. But to be sent to Groosham Grange? Hidden away on a lonely island, Groosham Grange is a school that is unknown to the outside world. Pupils are forced to sign their names in blood. An English teacher is held together entirely with bandages. A soccer ball is made of ... well, you'd rather not know. What is the chilling secret hidden behind the headmaster's door? And why are students disappearing in the middle of the night? Suddenly, David has a lot more to worry about than pleasing his parents – like survival!©1988 Anthony Horowitz (P)2014 Bolinda Publishing

an absolute treasure. I Listened many times. am looking for volume 2, return to groosham grange. Thanks again Robert

Very interesting

The overall story was weird and interesting. However, I wished that David would have fought with HIS powers or something. But I enjoyed it.

Imaginative yet realistic

Entertaining story I listen to it straight through and I am definitely over 60. The most fun listen I’ve had in a long time. I thought the narration was a little melodramatic, however.

Groosham Grange

Clever, fun and I recommend it for anyone wanting a scary clever story. Unexpected tongue in cheek.

Humorous, scary,fantastic, punny

Truly enjoyed it, but wish it hadn't ended so abruptly. Questions about the school linger.
