TITLE: Buried Thunder AUTHOR: Tim Bowler

Review by Adrian Lui: The book is a very addicting and thrilling. It is about a girl called Maya that moved to a village, her family taking over a hotel called Rowan Tree. The story starts with Maya seing a vision about a murder in the mysterious forest of a red-haired man, a woman and a body with a mysterious figure standing on top it, just 15 minutes after she wandered off into the forest ditching her brother without any memory of it. She appeared back out of the forest with her parents and brother shinning torches on her. The only thing she remembered was seeing a owl on a tall tree, calling for her. When she told this to the police and look for the bodies, but the bodies just vanished... What is the secret hidden inside the forest? What is going to happen next? I strongly recommend this book to any people who likes horror and mystery but this book may include disturbing scene.

Review by Samiksha Choudhury: A very interesting and thrilling story about a girl who sees things. I won't say anymore as it might spoil the story. The book was quite unpredictable and it made you want to read on and find out what happened next. It might be slightly disturbing so i wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like horror, are affected by gruesome things or are animals (specifically fox) lovers.
