BLURB:
Adam
is an ordinary boy, except for one thing. He can see and talk with ghosts. When
his family moves into what seems like the home of his dreams, Adam finds out it
isn't his dream home after all. Edward Lawrence, a bossy ghost who was Adam's
age when he died, regards the home as his own and he doesn't want to share it
with an annoying boy who can see him. After Edward fails to convince Adam to
get his family to move out, he seeks powerful help from the earthbound spirit
world to get rid of them. However, Adam has an ally in the earthbound spirit
world as well as knowing a handful of tricks to get rid of ghosts. Adam just
has to get rid of Edward before the Council of Earthbound Spirits authorizes
Warrior Spirits to get rid of Adam and his family. But will Adam succeed in
time?

Excerpt:
With a dramatic tilt of his head, Eddie went for it. 'Oh,
well, I've never heard such a bossy member of the Living. He interrogated me as
if I were a prisoner of war. Then he lectured me about what I could and
couldn't do, even after I told him that I'd never extract energy from his
family.'
Sir John couldn't help smiling.
'How am I meant to float through my own home in peace? They
own a smelly dog that's allowed inside and chases me up and down the house. The
situation is unbearable.'
'Earthbound Spirits have been known to train dogs. You could
try that.'
I swallowed hard. There was no way any ghost was going to
train Caesar.
.
'The boy even threatened me with his Grandpa George, who apparently is the absolute best at
dealing with ghosts.'
I felt Isabel nudge me. She shook her head to let me know I
was an idiot for threatening him.
Sir John frowned. 'I assume dealing with means he possesses the ability to force you to pass
through the Light?'
'I assume so,' replied Eddie with a nod. 'Surely in your
capacity as the President of the Council of Earthbound Spirits you could send
Warrior Spirits to evict the family from my home?'
I held my breath. I'd never heard of Warrior Spirits.
Sir John's mouth opened and closed before he said, 'In
theory that would be difficult because of the Rules laid down by the Council.'
He pointed to the wall where three rules had been set out, framed and hung.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Sally Gould
loved books from a young age, but never considered writing them. While she was
busy getting up to the mischief that teenagers get up to, she forgot about
books all together. Then total insanity took hold and she became a corporate
lawyer. Fortunately, she had two sons and they inspired her to write stories
for children. Of course, her oldest son is responsible, logical, studious,
considerate, grateful and even makes his bed. The youngest one is only
interested in having fun - lots of it. And, except for his teachers, he makes
everyone laugh. Their antics have inspired many of Sally's stories. Sally lives
in Melbourne, Australia with her family and two dogs - Pebbles, who is
sensible, and Jade, who just wants to have fun.
