This is the first book in the Hounds of Penhallow series. I read the second one first because that was the only one the library had but, after reading that one, I had to track down the others in the series. Fortunately another local library had some print copies so hooray for libraries.
Polly is a little girl who has lost her father in a road accident and she and her mother move to Penhallow Hall to get away from the sad memories in London. Penhallow Hall is a huge and rambling place, full of history, and is just perfect for a little girl to run around in. There's always something new to discover. Polly is a sleepwalker and one night she finds herself suddenly outside and next to a statue of a dog. She is lonely without friends and somehow the dog statue, Rex, responds to her call and comes alive, and Polly has her first friend at Penhallow Hall. Polly and Rex have some adventures and they meet up with a couple of other ghosts and there's a bit of drama and a bit of history which all comes together in a compelling story.
And the illustrations are also superb - thanks, Jason Cockcroft!
This is the third book I've read by Holly Webb and, like the others, there's a touch of interesting history mixed in with the compelling characters and good writing.
