The Song from Somewhere Else
by A. F. Harrold
Frank is rescued from bullies by the boy nobody likes, and in his cellar she hears music that is not coming from anywhere in this world.
A story about children and magical creatures, spooky and thoughtful in tone. We would put it with children of 9–12, and at a reading age of about 10 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
