About the book

Synopsis

Take a boy with a reading problem, a protective mother, and a village primary school set in its original 19th century buildings and there are all the ingredients for an accessible 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?

This warm, highly readable story succeeds in giving an authentic child's-eye view of primary school friendships and concerns.

I wanted to buy a class set of this. It's a great book to read aloud - the flavour of life in school is very real.
- Children's Book Award (TES)

Likeable ... includes a chilling insight into Victorian school practice. The reader cheers.
- Irish Times

Sparky and spooky
- TES

A thrilling story with lots of unexpected twists and turns.
