Blurb: A chalky handprint on the shoulder of his school sweatshirt. Wobbly letters on the Blackboard. 'GET HER' What's going on? Frankie sure that the cupboard in the classroom holds a key to a mystery that's haunted the village for generations. He convinced that the ghost of a boy who went to the school over a hundred years ago is trying to tell him something. If only he could figure out what...

Review: Well Ghost Writer is about a boy called Frankie Ruggles Who has been kicked out of most of the schools he's attended, Frankie is dyslexic and his mum does everything she can to help him always trying to find cures or make things easier for him. His new school St.Olaf's is a medium size school at the end of the the new village he lives in with his mum and his dad when he is not abroad building bridges. Frankie finds this school to be great and he fits in well. He makes friends easily and starts getting involved in the community footy club but something isn't right at the school something else is in room 9 something that he seems to attract. The cupboard at the back of the room... GET HER...

Any way i should get on with the real stuff.....
