Ghost Writer - Hardcover

Take a boy with a reading problem, a protective mother, and a village primary school set in its original 19th century buildings and there all the ingredients for an accessible modern ghost story...Frankie wants to stay in this school that he likes, and hide from his mother that there is a bullying teacher who thinks that 'dyslexic' is another name for lazy. 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?
