Reviews for Tomorrow's Ghost: A pacy historical ghost adventure story from the Carnegie Medal-winning author of BUFFALO SOLDIER, perfect for age 9, 10, 11, 12

This aptly-named middle grade tale is a compelling time-slip story bridging the early twentieth century and the memorable summer of 1976. I enjoyed it hugely and read it in one sitting. -- Suzanne Chinnock * The English Association * Gripping, haunting and powerfully atmospheric, this story will have readers on edge until the final chapter reveal. I read it in a day, so bound up in the fate of both Etty and Anna had I become. * Red Reading Hub * Magical, mysterious and absolutely chilling, Tomorrow’s Ghost takes readers on a journey through time in the hopes of saving a life shattered by loss and sorrow. With Anna, they will see how the pieces of a broken world can be put together to make something beautiful. Themes of family, foster care, kindness and hope defeat loneliness and fear. -- Kate Heap * Scope for Imagination * Shorter than most middle grades at less than 250 pages, this is a read that will captivate confident readers in Year 4 upwards into KS3 and would make a lovely shared read in upper KS2, where I suspect many young teachers will be equally as surprised by the historical details as their charges. * Mrs Sydney's Famous World's Smallest Library * A beautifully told, time-slip adventure that brings two young girls together in a poignant and heart-warming story, perfect for readers of 9+. * Book Craic *
