Anne Droyd and the House of Shadows

Excitement fills the air when Gezz's parents book a winter break in the coastal town of Whitby. Her best friends Luke and Malcolm join them, and when they find a way of including Anne Droyd too, it becomes the vacation of a lifetime.
Anne is not like any other girl alive. In fact, she isn't a real girl at all. She's an android. And only Gezz, Malcolm and Luke know the truth

The town of Whitby has an atmosphere all its own, with its gothic heritage, 199 steps, and ruined abbey. But something very strange is going on at Lanyon Guesthouse. What is the secret of the Stevenson family? Who are the hooded creatures that roam the streets at night? And what is going on in the attic? The children and their superhuman friend are about to find out!

Book two in the Anne Droyd Adventures, a superb second outing for Anne and her friends but also perfect as a stand alone read.
