Convinced that the mysterious and troublesome events in the family cottage are due to his poltergeist disease, ten-year-old Colin decides to take matters into his own hands.
Windsor's description of the ADD challenged child are stunning. With keen insights into the thought processes and manipulative, impulsive, disorganized, and self-destructive behaviors that build with anxiety, the author describes the tensions and disappointments that permeate Colin's home and school environments. The reader is privileged to take the child's first tortuous steps toward self-reliance along with him. The English setting, subtle humor, smattering of profanity, and advanced vocabulary make this masterwork suitable at an upper middle or high school level.
