Tomorrow''s Ghost

A pacy historical time-slip adventure for middle grade readers, from the Carnegie Medal-winning author of Apache and Buffalo Soldier.

Haunted by the past, can Anna rewrite the future?

1976: Twelve-year-old Anna, bored and lonely away from her friends for the summer, finds herself dreaming about a girl from 1919 - a neglected and lonely girl living in a mansion with an austere and unloving grandfather. As Anna's dreams grow more vivid, she realizes that the girl from the past is calling out to her - and that Anna must cross time to save her from an untimely death...

Report

This aptly-named middle grade tale is a compelling time-slip story bridging the early twentieth century and the memorable summer of 1976. I enjoyed it hugely and read it in one sitting. Suzanne Chinnock The English Association
