Tomorrow's Ghost

Tanya Landman has written numerous books for children and young people, including Buffalo Soldier, winner of the Carnegie Medal; Apache, shortlisted for the Carnegie Medal and the BookTrust Teenage Prize; The Goldsmith's Daughter and Hell and High Water, shortlisted for the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize; the Sam Swann and Poppy Fields mystery series and the beautiful picture book The Song of the Nightingale illustrated by Laura Carlin, shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. Tanya lives in Devon.

This aptly-named middle grade tale is a compelling time-slip story bridging the early twentieth century and the memorable summer of 1976. I enjoyed it hugely and read it in one sitting.
