Book description
THE PHANTOM THIEF
The first time Alfie sees the boy, he appears as if from nowhere in
the school detention room - the 'padded cell'. There's something odd
about him and Alfie is definitely not pleased when he realizes the boy
has nicked his new jacket. But a ghost? That's what his new friend
Sarah thinks - and she's so convinced she's prepared to ghost-watch
with him.
That's when the warning message appears, scratched out on the
blackboard by a phantom hand....
MY FRIEND'S A WEREWOLF
Kelly always thought werewolves only existed in stories and
late-night films. Until Simon moves in next door. Could that be hair
beginning to sprout on his face? Why does he wear black gloves all the
time - even to school? Last, but definitely not least, there's the
howling at night . . . Aren't werewolves . . . dangerous?
PETE JOHNSON began work as a film critic for Radio One, then
became a teacher. His experiences in the classroom led to his
beginning to write and he still keeps contact with a panel of young
readers to gain the viewpoint of the actual reader as he writes new
titles. He is the author of several titles for the Corgi Yearling list.
