The Ghost and Bertie Boggin

A marvellously funny book about Bertie, youngest of the Boggin clan, who alone can see the ghost that lives in the coalshed. When Bertie's older brother and sister oppress him, the ghost is his champion and in one adventure after another Bertie and the ghost come out on top. It makes a supremely satisfying read for younger children and the style is so swift and effortlessly funny that it's a pleasure to read. If only there were more books of this quality for younger readers!
