Wonderfully written, and so imaginative. I was surprised at how much I could relate to George and his outlook on the world, especially those bigger questions, and that deep inner sense of doubt.

As a child I often felt like I was on a completely different tangent half the time. Guided By The Ghosts brought a lot of that back to me, but in beautiful ways.

Atmospheric and engaging read!

The story takes you on its arms and won't let go. Smooth prose draws you in and delivers the twist effortlessly. A well crafted tale, bravo!

Guided by the Ghosts is well thought out with solid characters. I found the relationship between George and the ghosts intriguing and I found myself hoping for more. Guided by the Ghosts is an all-around enjoyable story and I would recommend it to young readers.

Great read for tweens to young adults

This book shows us the struggles of a young boy as he faces his day. He and his family are faced with the issue that many do today, working parents. I would say this is a well planned book and should be read by all tweens for the purpose of better understanding each other.
