Ghost Knight
Autor Cornelia Funkeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2013 – vârsta de la 8 până la 12 ani
Eleven-year-old Jon Whitcroft never expected to enjoy boarding school. Then again, he never expected to be confronted by a pack of vengeful ghosts, either. And then he meets Ella, a quirky new friend with a taste for adventure...
Together, Jon and Ella must work to uncover the secrets of a centuries-old murder while being haunted by terrifying spirits, their bloodless faces set on revenge. So when Jon summons the ghost of the late knight Longspee for his protection, there's just one question: Can Longspee truly be trusted?

Recenzii
"Funke's
consummate
way
with
setting,
well
interpreted
in
Offermann's
looming
illustrations,
brings
the
medieval
English
town
(and
all
of
its
ghosts)
to
life,
from
the
sprawling
boarding
school
campus
to
the
echoes-of-the-past
cathedral
and
eerie
cemetery
grounds;
a
side
jaunt
to
Stonehenge
even
adds
some
levity.

"Funke follows her foray into YA (Reckless) with a simultaneously creepy and romantic middle-grade ghost story that will please her legions of younger fans. Despite the book's length, the story moves quickly, filled with daring midnight expeditions and close calls with death."—Publisher's Weekly
"Historic details about the real Hartgill, Longspee and Stourton are deftly woven into a ripping good story. It's told with self-effacing humor from the perspective of an awkward boy who emerges as honorable and brave as the ghost knight and the contemporary girl he befriends. Black-and-white illustrations add to the Tudor atmosphere and drama. Sword-swinging ghosts will haunt readers of this droll, harrowing and historically grounded ghost story."—Kirkus
