The Fighting Spirit

Om boken

“Would you like to adopt a ghost?

Young spirit, born 1887, seeks kind home to haunt. Gentleman by birth. Good company. Gets on well with other children. Jokes and shocks a speciality.

If interested, place outside your home three twigs, in the shape of an arrow, pointing to your front door...”

Ruby and Jayden get more than they bargained for, when they adopt the ghost of Edward Fitzberranger. He’s a boy from Victorian times, has left his haunted house without permission and is living in Ruby’s wardrobe.

When they find out he can time-travel, they find themselves in the Second World War, with bombs falling and a royal kidnapping plot. Simon Fitzberranger and his Anti-War Party offer a solution – but is he all he seems?

“We're big fans of children's author Rob Keeley. He's a ball of happy positivity, he understands children, and he writes for their pleasure and enjoyment... The Spirits series is one of his greatest achievements.” Jill Murphy, The Bookbag on Childish Spirits special edition
