#YASH Spring 2016 is Here!
This is me, your fairly non-threatening host for this part of the hunt. I’m Kady Cross, and I write a bunch of stuff � currently about ghosts. I have 4 cats, love the color pink, and have more makeup than anyone could ever possibly use. Still, I’m going to try. Somewhere on this page, I’ve hidden my favorite number. It will appear in TEAL. That’s the number you need to add up with all the others on Team TEAL in order to have a chance at winning. Also, somewhere on this hunt, I’ve hidden a playlist for SISTERS OF SALT AND IRON, my newest book (released today!)

I’m hosting author !

“I have a very visual imagination, and I’m very interested in graphic art, illustration, and comic books. For a while I wanted to make 13 Days of Midnight into a graphic novel, although I don’t think I’m really a good enough artist to draw professionally yet, so I wrote it out as a regular novel. Although I don’t think that what a character looks like is the most important thing about them, when designing an unusual group of characters like the ghosts Luke inherits, I wanted more of a handle on what they looked like, so I made a lot of drawings of them. These are the Judge and the Prisoner, two of the less pleasant ghosts that Luke meets. I always liked designing villains and I had a lot of fun with these two characters.�

Bio:ÌýLeo Hunt is a human being. The rumours that he is really a collection of ferrets hiding inside a coat are vicious slander. Please do not contact him with queries about the ferret rumour.

Leo is the author of the Dunbarrow books, a paranormal adventure series for young adult readers. The series has been described as ‘definitely a series of books� by prominent critics. Leo’s mum really likes them too. The first novel in the series, 13 Days of Midnight, was nominated for the 2016 Branford Boase Award and the Waterstones Children’s Book Award.

Synopsis:ÌýWhen Luke Manchett’s estranged father dies suddenly, he leaves his son a dark inheritance. Luke has been left in charge of his father’s ghost collection: eight restless spirits. They want revenge for their long enslavement, and in the absence of the father, they’re more than happy to take his son. It isn’t fair, but you try and reason with the vengeful dead.
Ìý
Halloween, the night when the ghosts reach the height of their power, is fast approaching. With the help of school witchlet Elza Moss, and his cowardly dog Ham, Luke has just thirteen days to uncover the closely guarded secrets of black magic, and send the unquiet spirits to their eternal rest. The alternative doesn’t bear thinking about.
