A story about a childhood haunted by a ghost
A truly enjoyable book that deals with childhood issues and with the backdrop of something more fascinating; a modern day haunting. James has moved with his family into a new cottage and along with other things wrong with their new abode, they have a poltergeist - a ghost that manifests itself physically too. The problem is that James is the only one haunted and his family doesn't believe in ghosts. What follows is the adventures of how the ghost gets James into various troubles, how James tries to get rid of the ghost, the characters that James meets along the way and about friendship that can reach beyond one's lifetimes. The sense of humour prevails throughout the book as James comes to terms with a personal haunting.
The book is something that you can associate yourself with because as you are reading, you become aware of the very same things been gone through in your own childhood. The way the adults treat James is very nostalgic and the book has a lovely voice to it. This book is a simple yet powerful read about boyhood and its adventures and the difficulties that can arise in even an ordinary childhood. by Nadia Hussain
