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?
