نقد و بررسی
Elliot Hill delivers a wistful, atmospheric ghost tale set in Salisbury, England. Twelve-year-old Jon Hartgill displays a truculent attitude as he adjusts to boarding school. But Jon's priorities change when a murderous ghost attacks him. To save himself, Jon seeks help from the ghost of William Longspee, half-brother of Richard the Lionheart. Hill's phrasing adds clarity to a rich historical narrative. And his sad tone contributes to the overall somber mood. The production concludes with an author's note narrated by Funke herself. She directs listeners to a PDF that includes further information on the story's historical background. C.A. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine

When he’s sent away to boarding school, Jon Whitcroft isn’t too happy about it—and that’s before he starts seeing ghosts and the ghosts start seeing him. But when the ghosts begin to plot against Jon, the only person he can turn to his newfound friend Ella. Now Jon and Ella must investigate an ancient murder and summon the ghost of Knight Longspee. Elliot Hill narrates in a crisp British accent that certainly makes listening enjoyable. He captures Jon’s tone and attitude throughout and deftly embodies the angst and frustration of the reticent youth. Additionally, Hill creates a host of unique voices for the book’s assorted characters and transitions well between prose and dialogue. And while the voices he lends the female characters are less varied, they remain believable and appropriate. Ages 8–12. A Little, Brown hardcover.
