(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gris Grimly. Twelve-year-old Yorik Mortwell, former servant of Ravenby Manor killed by petulant young Master Thomas, returns as a ghost to protect his sister. His haunting is hampered by evil demons with their own motives for taking over the estate. Morbid and creepy, this gothic fantasy adventure challenges the concept of truth versus falsehood in a plot that moves (sometimes confusingly) between two worlds.
