The Ghost Messengers
This is only short, a bare ninety pages of text, but it contains a gem of a story. Robert Swindells skillfully builds up an atmospheric 'ghost' story within the overall scenario of tension and relationships in a sleepy village. Meg has been long haunted by the ghost of her grandfather, who disappeared during a wartime bombing raid. Her previous attempt at drawing the family's attention to her 'dream' produced only ridicule. However, there must be a reason behind these appearances. What is the message? This one is worth the read to find out.
