About the author
Rose Impey
320 books17 followersROSE IMPEY was born, and grew up, in Northwich, Cheshire. When she first left school she worked in a bank, but soon realised that this was not for her; so she decided to go back to school and then went on to college, where she trained to be a teacher. She later taught in a Junior school in Leicester.
Rose has two grown-up daughters. While her children were small, Rose developed her interest in children's books through reviewing, bookselling, storytelling and giving talks to parents and teachers.
The Impey family have a dog called Holly, which has also become a star. In 1988 Rose was short-listed for the Smarties Children's Book Prize for 'Desperate for a Dog'. Most of her stories are based on her own experiences either as a teacher or a parent. As a family they like jokes, and this often provides Rose with the ideas for her books.
She spends a lot of time visiting schools to read her work. Her books are widely published worldwide, including the United States, Australia, France, Denmark, Germany and Spain. Rose enjoys eating, talking, swimming and reading, although not necessarily in that order!

Who, as a child, hasn’t tried to outscare their sleepover pal? I remember my own tales & those returned to best them. This is such a night: two girls, sleeping out in a tent, sharing tales of gloom and monsters, and the brother outside trying to enact the scenes.
The artwork, by Moira Kemp, is exceptional. The facial expressions of the wary campers, the devious creatures of their imaginations. I loved it, start to finish. And the brother? Find out for yourself.

This wasn't as scary as the other three books I read in this series.
