But can the pair, together with their new ghostly friends, Doug and Lizzie, stop some sinister goings on at school before it's too late? What if your new best friend was a ghost? Getting struck by lightning whilst huddling under a tree isn''t exactly the way Alisha and Theo would have chosen to get out of sports day . . . Surviving the strike makes them see life differently.

But you can''t have everything.But something sinister is going on at school - although only Theo and Alisha seem to be able to see it. What can it mean when ragged faceless entities keep staring in through the windows? Not all ghosts are friendly like Doug and Lizzie . . . but are these phantoms really the harbingers of doom for all the kids at Beechwood Junior?A fun and fast-paced ghostly mystery with lightning strikes, floating phantoms, and four fantastic friends just trying to get on with their everyday lives . . . or deaths . . .From the prize-winning author of Frozen in Time, the Shapeshifter series, and many more! |
