Waiting on Wednesday: The devil walks by Anne Fine

I can't wait for this one after hearing about it earlier in the year from the Random House Girlies

The Devil Walks by Anne Fine
Published by Random House Children's Books on 7th July 2011




Raised in secrecy by a mother everyone thinks has gone mad, Daniel’s only link to his past is the intricately built model of the family home – High Gates. The dolls’ house is perfect in every detail.

As Daniel is reunited with the last remaining member of his family - his Uncle Severn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to a sinister wooden doll he has found hidden in the house - he begins to suspect that this vicious, haunted puppet of a figure has a chilling influence, bringing cruelty and spite in its wake.

Now Daniel's very life is at risk as his uncle is determined to get his hands on the figure . . .
