A short little adventure story with a twist of a ghost story. I like the idea that three teenagers go back to their old school to complete an old tradition and get caught up in a ghost story. The ending was unexpected but I like how all the characters had achieved something by the end.

No one got in trouble and no one got hurt. It was fun!

I’m pleased I managed to get around to this book as I know the author and I like to support indie writers.

I met David J H Smith at a Comic Con in Taunton, Somerset on Sunday 14th April. He seemed a lovely man. I bought signed copies of all the books he had for sale, including this book. It was only a short book and I managed to read it all on the way home and found the story to be very entertaining. I would recommend.
