A review by story_sanctuary
Ghostcloud by Michael Mann

5.0

The story is set in an alternate London, one plagued by pollution and corruption. Children disappear. A factory that powers the city is secretly worked by children.

I liked Luke right away. He's desperate to get home to his family, but he can't turn his back on someone who needs help. When he meets a ghost and learns about a whole ghostly population of London, he realizes something bigger is going on than children going missing and appearing to work in the factory, and working with the ghosts may be the key to stopping the whole vicious cycle.

The whole story is whimsical and a fun adventure. I loved the oddness of the story world and especially Luke, Jess, and Stealth the cat.

Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All opinions my own.
