( ) I've picked this ghostly book for #tbntbookchallenge and I have not regretted it at all. I had a few in mind but this hardcover was the prettiest of them all! Thankfully, a spark joy cover with a spark joy story! 'A perfect English ghost story.' You can read my full review here: http://www.sholee.net/2020/08/mpov-ghost-knight.html This review published at The Children's Book and Media Review When John Whitcroft is sent off to boarding school, he’s not expecting to have to confront ghosts that are determined to make him pay for the mistakes of his ancestors. However, no one else can see the ghosts that are threatening him except for the quirky girl, Ella. John and Ella team up to try to stop the ghosts from making John’s life miserable. They recruit the help of a ghostly knight, Sir Longspee, who can protect John, but wants a favor in exchange. John and Ella agree to help the knight, answering both questions about John’s family history and why Sir Longspee spends his time as a ghost helping people. Although there are lots of ghosts and a general sense of danger, there are multiple reassurances that the ghosts cannot touch them, helping the story get rid of any possible scariness. The story is also told from John’s adult perspective, again reassuring young readers that all will be well for the main characters in the end but also removes any tension. These things make it an unusual ghost story with no major stakes, but readers who are interested in boarding school stories without too much scariness will appreciate it. Jon goes to boarding school, only to discover that its location is haunted by ghosts with a personal vendetta against his family. Along the way he meets Ella, who knows all about ghosts and wants to help him, and the ghost of Longspee, an ancient knight with a shadowy past. I enjoyed this one. I don't have much else to say about it, except that it's a solid supernatural yarn in a lovely location. Once again, Funke delivers. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Una emocionante novela basada en un personaje real que vivió en la Edad Media. William Longespee, hijo ilegítimo del rey Enrique II de Inglaterra, fue la primera persona en ser enterrada en la catedral de Salisbury. Muchos siglos después regresa para protagonizar esta historia. Jon Whitcroft, de 11 años, está triste y en apuros porque lo han enviado a un internado en Salisbury. Nada de allí le gusta: lluvia, muros oscuros, angostos pasillos, rostros extraños y una habitación que tiene que compartir con dos compañeros. Pero Jon está lejos de sospechar que pronto éstas serán sus menores preocupaciones. En su sexta noche en el internado, aparecen de repente tres fantasmas al pie de la ventana de su habitación. Han venido a amenazarlo de muerte porque lleva el mismo apellido que el hombre que los asesinó. Su vida corre peligro y Jon está solo y asustado. Menos mal que está Ella, su única amiga en el internado y que tiene la solución: hay que pedir ayuda a un buen caballero. El problema es que ese caballero murió hace siglos...
