About the book

Synopsis

You are in danger.

The first time Alfie sees the boy, he appears as if from nowhere in the school detention room - the 'padded cell'. There's something odd about him and Alfie is definitely not pleased when he realises the boy has nicked his new jacket. But a ghost? His new friend Sarah is convinced - so convinced she is prepared to ghost-watch with him.

That's when the warning message appears, scratched out on the blackboard by a phantom hand . . .

What the critics say

'Some chilling moments.. an emotional framework beyond the supernatural without being too frightening'
The Times
-

'Highly ingenious and intriguing... Another fine book from Pete Johnson... A clear, lively style, well-caught speech and a deep understanding of the way children think and feel make this a worthy successor to such novels as The Ghost Dog and My Friend's a Werewolf. Which means it will be very popular and a certainty for every library' The School Librarian
