Book description
If you expect to see a ghost, you see a ghost...
That's what Bethan tells herself when her brother Harry takes her to
see the ghost at the old reservoir. But she really can see it:
a pale figure floating over the water, one finger pointing downwards.
Local legend says that the ghost is Hettie Daynes, an ancestor of
their family, who vanished over a hundred years ago.
If so, what does she want? And why is she appearing now?
Harry and Bethan and their friends Rob and Alison are determined to
find out!
A deliciously shivery ghost tale from multi award-winning author
Robert Swindells.
