A far fetched novel and the first Morpugo one I’ve read which really feels and reads like a children’s book.
It does in fact contain a ship, on theme for the author. Off theme is the use of magical realism, which does sort of add to the story, but it’s no rival to Garcia Marques and did make me laugh at how ridiculous it was at times
Still, I’d say 2.5 is more than fair and anymore who, for example, rated it 1 star, is dead inside and an overly harsh critic. Maybe it’s my bias for the author but it wasn’t thaaat bad

Lovely mysterious story from start to finish. The friendshio between Jessie and Jack is everything and community feel and coming together eventually eventually protect their island with a little ghostly help makes for a fabulous read
I really really liked this book. A truly amazing feel good story!

Was gifted this book as a young child who loved reading and DNF as it was too advanced for my age. It sat on my shelf for years, and I finally braved it at the grand age of 24.
I am a huge fan of Michael Morpurgo. I have re read many of his books as an adult, and therefore, I am sad to admit that 'The Ghost of Grania O'Malley' is my least favourite.
I have pinned my 2* rating down to the fact that I have grown up surrounded by Irish culture, humour, and have knowledge of its complex history. I find that when English authors write about Ireland, the story is always white washed, and sadly, 'The Ghost of Grania O'Malley' is no exception.
Sorry Michael!
