 A good read scary month of October October 28, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Barney a nine year old boy is being haunted. He thinks it is Cole, his dead Greatuncle. He finds out that Cole was a " magician" and is not in fact dead. If you want to find out what happens next get the book!
I liked this because it was gripping, lots of detail and mystery. I recommend the book be read in the scary month of October.

this book is not even about a ghost or anything scary it is about a living man and is dull the people have silly names and act like 2 years old!

Like all Mahy's fantasies, this is both a thrilling supernatural ride and a sympathetic, thoughtful portrayal of family life. Adults, as always, are neither gods nor monsters (though at first it seems otherwise to Barney, the child at the centre of the story). The book is about learning the limits of adult power and the extent of children's power. It knows magic is hard and scary. If you find Harry Potter a bit banal, try this; it's far, far cooler.

In places tis book was fantastic, capturing suspense and danger brilliantly but at odd times it became rather tedious, still, worth a look.
