Sleeping with the Spirit, the first in the volume, a story by Laurie Faria Stolarz, will have readers relishing the tale of a girl moving into a home where a grisly murder took place years ago. She cannot sleep with the host of the murdered boy tormenting her into wakefulness. Only when she stays awake to listen to him, does she realise what she can do to help.
Love is the theme in all five stories, but the supernatural twist will be most appealing to lower secondary students looking for something a little different.
