Brilliant fiction debut from a highly-acclaimed picture book artist. Ghosts are always popular characters in children's book - and G is a lovable character with whom readers will instantly empathise. Strongly rooted in modern-day Dublin, Ghostboy also embraces aspects of Irish history and culture. Irish children's writers are hugely popular locally and abroad - think Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl), Kate Thompson (Winner 2005 Whitbread and Guardian Children's Fiction prizes). Marie-Louise would be our first Irish author on the OCB list.
