Ghost Gang - The New Ghost by James Parkin
'It
was about half past three on a Sunday afternoon when my life as a child ended
and my life as a ghost began.'
There
can be few better introductions to a children's book and I was hooked from that
very first sentence.
I was
asked to review this book by the author and I admit I was worried. What if it
wasn't very good? I would feel conflicted - wanting to be honest, but not
wanting to criticise a book which I knew the author has worked so hard on for
so long.
He is
a boy of few words and his actions speak louder than words. He didn't write
much for his review, but he sat down to read the book and didn't stop until he'd
finished. That is praise indeed.
Review
by Boy 1 age 11
Ghost
Gang is a thrilling adventure when a boy who has just died joins a group of
other children who are ghosts and helps children to get rid of their problems
in their dreams. He also finds out how
to treat others nicely and think before he says something. I would recommend
this book for children from 8 to 12.
James
Parkin is a self-published children's author. His three Ghost Gang books are
available for Kindle or in paperback from his website www.bigredsock.com You can read about
James's journey to self-publishing on his blog Writing from 7.
