The boy who never liked change…Not new schools, not new towns, and definitely not the eerie old house his family had just moved into.

Jerome is a reluctant adventurer, sceptic of all things supernatural… and about to discover an old grandfather clock that will change all of that…

He’s a history whizz, walking encyclopedia, and the guy you want on your side when things get weird.

Whether it’s unravelling historic mysteries or diving headfirst into danger, Olly will always go the extra mile for his new best bud, Jerome Adewale.

When history meets the impossible, Olly’s the one with the answers…or if not, a well-aimed slingshot and a sarcastic remark to keep things interesting.

Sam is courageous, fiercely loyal – and always with her board and wearing her woolly hat, no matter where she goes. 

Her bond with Jerome is unshakable, and she’s not afraid to stand up for the ones she loves. But her relationship with Olly ‘Freckles’ Robinson? Well, that’s one a little more shaky…

As for her family’s hidden connections? Let’s just say there’s more to Sam than meets the eye…

The genius poet, dreamer, and a woman shrouded in mystery.

Living in the late 1800s, she carries a chilling secret—a connection to a sinister entity she calls ‘The Shadow Man’.

But Arabella is more than her fears; she’s brave, brilliant, and deeply fascinated by a mysterious visitor who calls himself Jerome.

When she’s not penning poetry or confronting the impossible, Arabella can often be found indulging in her other favourite pastimes—reading stories, wandering to her cherished spot in the woods, and listening to her favourite music: Stevie Nicks…
