The Ghost Child - Thryft

Haunted memories come to life.

The Ghost Child is a charming and haunting tale about the power of memory and the importance of family ties that will captivate readers of all ages. With crisp and evocative prose, Emma Tennant takes us on a journey through Melly's experiences as she meets the ghost of her grandpa's brother. The story is not just about ghostly apparitions, but about the impact that past events have on those living in the present. This is an enchanting read that will leave you with a warm nostalgia for the past and a fresh perspective on how the dead can continue to shape our lives.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
