A ghost story with a difference...One night, fifteen-year-old Eve wakes up to find a boy in her room: the most gorgeous, funny, exciting boy she's ever met. In fact, Jack is perfect in just about every way - except for the fact that he's a ghost.Somehow, Eve has to find out what's happened to Jack and send him back to 1930, where he belongs. It seems an impossible task. After all, what's done is done. Or is it? "I lie back with my eyes shut so I don't have to look at Jack and say quickly, before I can lose my nerve, 'The thing is, I think you might have been shot, and that's why you're here.'Silence. I take a quick peek. He's scratching his head with a worried expression and then he says, 'Oh dear.' And the whole thing suddenly seems so ridiculous, we both start laughing. 'I don't suppose you happen to know who shoots me?' he asks eventually.'Look, I could have got it wrong. Somebody told me there was a murder at Rakeway Grange, that's all, and I think it must have something to do with you. But I haven't been able to find out anything about it on the internet.''What's the internet?' he asks, inevitably. 'Is it some sort of library?''OK,' I say, turning on my laptop and shuffling up so he can sit next to me on the sofa, 'welcome to my world.'"
