Q.1. Cinnamon Stevens – Ghost Light is an intriguing title. Can you
give us an elevator pitch?
A.1. To stop
one of her besties being bullied, Cinnamon must discover what really happened
in the out-of-bounds cemetery at night and solve the mystery of a haunted
theatre.

“ghost-light” is the light is left on in an empty theatre so the theatre ghost
doesn’t feel forgotten. It’s one of the many theatrical superstitions mentioned
in the book.
Q.2. Cinnamon Stevens – Ghost Light is a sequel to Cinnamon
Stevens – Crime Buster.
How has Cinnamon changed since the events of the last book?
A.2. Crime Buster happened during
Cinnamon’s first weeks in Year 7. This one begins a
month later. Because her
last case ended so successfully Cinnamon’s now more confident. She’s almost
thirteen and ready to break a few rules. There’s also the sneaking suspicion
that her crush Angelo di Pietro may have clay feet...
