Looking back, it all started on the day of the fair and the terrible accident. When twelve-year-old Eddie first met the Chalk Man.
It was the Chalk Man who gave Eddie the idea for the drawings- a way to leave secret messages between his group of friends.
And it was fun, to start with, until the figures led them to the body of a young girl.
That was thirty years ago and Ed thought the past was behind him. Then he receives a letter containing just two things- a piece of chalk, and a drawing of a stick figure.
As history begins to repeat itself, Ed realises the game was never over...
Everyone has secrets.
Everyone is guilty of something.
And children are not always so innocent.

It looks like a creepy murder mystery and, yes it is that, but it is more as well. It is a humourous coming-of-age story about a group of young friends who are innocently dragged into something deep and dark. It is also an expose of small town life. It will keep you guessing till the end along with a few wry smiles. - David (QBD)

C.J. Tudor's 'The Chalk Man' is to psychological thrillers what Jane Harper's 'The Dry' is to Australian crime novels. With deep, believable characterisation and masterfully descriptive writing, Tudor has created a world that you'll love to fear right up until the final page. Start your year off with a story so scary, you'll have nothing to fear in the new year. - Samuel (QBD)

I couldn't put this book down! Absolutely loved the 80's setting! This novel is like a mix of Stand by Me and Stranger Things! Definitely prepare yourself before reading as it is a rollercoaster of a mystery thriller! Just when you think things are calm you get slapped in the face by a massive polt twist! - Henry (QBD)

Engaging and engrossing. Get ready to be hooked from the first page and pulled back into the summer of 1986, where nothing is as it seems. Filled with unforgettable characters this fantastic debut novel is perfect for fans of Stranger Things and Stephen King.
