This is a good creepy ghost story for children. David is a 12 year old victim of a broken home. He is bullied at school and making himself increasingly unpopular through bad behaviour. He is als a risk taker, which sometimes leads him into trouble - and never moreso than when he climbs into an old ventialtion shaft in his flat that connects to other flats in his apartment complex. He uses his doscovery to spy and play nasty tricks on his neighbours - until the day he sees a ghost and events start to take a turn for the worse.

There is redemption, friendship, reformation and love in this book. Lots of good strong emotions that make for a memorable story. It is short though, and lacks the depths of a more adult novel. Nevertheless one to be enjoyed by children and probably young adults too. And indeed anyone who wants a short but enjoyable ghost story. ( )
