Whispers in the Graveyard Heinemann Plays

On a school trip to research the history of a graveyard, a group of students unearth a lot more than they bargained for! This excellent adaptation retells Theresa Breslin's timeless, Carnegie medal-winning story.

Solomon is bullied by his teachers and let down by his parents. His refuge is the graveyard in the shadow of the rowan tree, the only thing that grows there. When workmen uproot the tree a strange and terrible power is unleashed. It seems a lust for revenge is spanning the centuries.
