Publisher's Synopsis

A supernatural love story that touches on the First World War.

Kerry hates her new school. She doesn't think much of the new house either, as it's full of strange noises.

While waiting by the old war memorial for her mum to come home, she meets a boy. He seems nice, but very sad about something. And he's dressed a bit oddly too…
