My Brother's Ghost

(3) 4-6 From a distance of forty years, Frances looks back at the events that followed the accidental death of her older brother, Tom. As the narrator endures life with inhospitable Aunt Marge, Tom's ghost makes periodic appearances, ultimately helping to save Frances from drowning. This quietly effective novella, and its depiction of a lost and bewildered ghost boy, recalls the work of Robert Westall.
