Illustrated by
Kevin Hawkes.
This novel infuses the macabre with an environmental sensibility. The unsure fate of a family of homeless ghosts inspires young Rick Henderson to take on the cause of Great Britain's specters displaced by rampant overdevelopment. The story moves along at a good pace, the heroes and the enemy are clearly delineated, and, even with some suspense, the happy ending is never really in doubt.
