The spooky, action-packed and much-anticipated sequel to the award-winning The Turnkey.

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?

Allison Rushby, the daughter of an author, was raised on a wholesome and steady diet of classic English literature. Some of her favourite books, re-read countless dog-eared times include Rumer Godden's The Dolls' House, Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden, Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle and Noel Streatfield's Shoes series. She has long been a fan of cities with long, winding histories, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, foxes and ivy. She likes to write with a cup of Darjeeling tea by her side and a Devon Rex cat called Claudia curled up in her lap. Allison's books with Walker include the middle-grade novels The Turnkey and The Mulberry Tree.

Reviews for The Seven Keys (#2 Turnkey)

This fine historical novel is an engaging and spirited sequel which will leave readers wanting more...Highly recommended * Read Plus * Flossie is a delightful character - having a ghost as the main character made the book interesting and she is one of my favourite ghostly characters, because she has so much heart and joy... We got a conclusion that was satisfying and full of heart. I am looking forward to seeing what else Allison Rushby writes for her readers next, because I will be waiting keenly for those next books. * Ashleigh Meikle *
