A review by gordonj
Joe Quinn's Poltergeist by David Almond

5.0

A haunting book, but not in the way you expect. I read this because I thought it would be a quick way to add another book to my reading challenge, but then I kept thinking about the story and going back to look at the illustrations, which are darkly beautiful. David Almond has captured something true and potentially more frightening than any traditional ghost story. And yet there's hope in it too as the characters find empathy and beauty in a sometimes terrifying world.
