Ghost Writer

by Julia Jarman

Take a boy with a reading problem, a protective mother, and a village grade school set in its original 19th century buildings and there are all the ingredients for a perfect modern ghost story. Frankie likes his school even though his bullying teacher thinks that dyslexic is another name for lazy. But who is the ghost boy who writes "get her" on the blackboard in the original classroom€”and what is his connection with the cupboard at the back? What really happened in the influenza epidemic that swept the village 70 years before€”and who died in it?

A ghost story which gives an insight into the miserable school life of Victorian children.

[Michael · Rating 3 out of 5]

fairly interesting childrens book keeps the interest.

[fin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not frightening enough, even for kids. And the translation isn't smooth.
