Opis

A disturbing, though sometimes humorous memoir, told uniquely through the eyes of a young child.
"The ghosts in the author's book are metaphorical, but that doesn't lessen the impact of this powerful narrative, which is both a coming-of-age story for John and a blistering chronicle of his sister's physical and psychological torment of him... The title suggests a ghost story, but a boy witnessing firsthand the onset and evolution of a mental breakdown is as bloodcurdling as anything supernatural, perhaps more so.
A startling, sometimes-chilling tale of mental illness and familial abuse." - Kirkus Reviews
