Seven Ghosts by Chris Priestley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I did not see the ending coming. This is a spooky and slightly mysterious story about a boy called Jake who goes on a tour in a magnificent old stately home called Grimstone Hall but not everything is as it appears. The house is haunted by seven spirits each with there own tale to tell. This is a fabulous short novel by Chris Priestley.
