A Ghost called Dog
Moving house is always an adventure but Abby and Chris get more than they bargained for when their parents take them to their new home. The garden, with its playhouse and old tree, promises them hours of fun but soon strange events turn fun into danger... Who are the two spooky old women from down the road and why are they so keen to befriend the children? Where have the cat and dog come from that nobody but Abby and Chris can see? Is their garden with its gnarled old tree an innocent space in which to spend long, summer days - or does it conceal something darker? When the children's mother disappears, the children are forced to confront an ancient evil. Can they defeat the Fairy King through a series of dangerous challenges - or will he destroy them before they can rescue their mother and escape?

A most delightful children's Fantasy, about magic and love of siblings and family, and most especially, about finding and becoming one's True Self; and therefore, a beloved Fantasy for all ages!
Wonderfully woven, this is the story of two children: Abigail, 7; Chris, 11. They with their parents have just moved house, with an expansive garden and a hugely old Oak that Abby delights to climb, while Chris reads and practices (English) football. The garden shed serves up a ghost rabbit, a ghost cat, a ghost dog, plus other, less-friendly, ghost creatures. The children are recognized as possessing magic by a pair of neighbors, two "wise women," and soon Abby and Chris must enter the Land of Fairy and fight through illusions, glamour, and trickery to rescue a loved one.

An original and warm story which captures all the best bits of fantasy and magic as a child would see it. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to younger and adult readers alike who after something uplifting and otherworldly.
