The creature keeper - Damaris Young

The perfect magical read for kids who love animals and
care about saving the environment!

Creepy Direspire Hall sits glowering on the moors - and if you
stray too close then beware the growls and scary sounds from within...
When animal lover Cora learns that Direspire's mysterious
owner is looking for a new Creature Keeper, she realises this might
just be the chance she's looking for to save her parents' farm.

But Direspire Hall is a spooky place and the strange creatures
who live there are nothing like Cora is expecting. As Cora settles
into her new life, it soon becomes clear that Direspire has its
secrets, and that somebody will do whatever it takes to keep them...
