The Fetch of Mardy Watt was published by HarperCollins (February 2004).
Something is haunting twelve-year-old Mardy Watt. It's been in her room, it's fooling her friends and it's upsetting her home life. And the trouble is, nobody realises what is happening except Mardy herself. Exactly what it is and why it is picking on her, Mardy doesn't know - but she does know that she has to find out, before it takes over and replaces her completely.

"An absorbingly creepy read." Magpies
"An enjoyable, spooky modern read." Anna Ryan Punch in Viewpoint

"An exciting read for upper primary, lower secondary children. It is full of spooky images and marvellous descriptions of the intriguing topography of Uraniborg and the sense of place is particularly well achieved." Linda Kempton in Armadillo Magazine
