About this book
Twelve-year-old David loves exploring the maze of ventilation shafts in his London apartment building, pulling harmless pranks on the neighbors. One of his stunts accidentally awakens the ghost of a boy who harbors a grudge against the lonely, senile old man living upstairs. The resulting tension forces David to confront the old man's decline due to Alzheimer's, blending a suspenseful ghost story with a poignant look at memory loss.
