Driver's Dead

Peter Lerangis
(Scholastic Point)
978-0590133463, RRP £3.99, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "Driver's Dead (Point Horror)" on Amazon

Kirsten is new in town but soon becomes acquainted with Maria, Rob, Virgil and the ghost of Nguyen Trang, killed in a car crash and attached to Earth by his restless search for a locket containing a photograph of his parents. The connection between Nguyen, Virgil, Rob and the alcoholic ex-Marine driving instructor, Mr Busk, becomes clearer only with agonising slowness. This is over-long, over-written and, sadly, probably irresistible to Year 8/9 and above.
