The story of the friendship between a nine-year-old English schoolboy and a gang of pocket–sized ghosts from Thailand. Henry is an orphan and nobody wants him, but the spirits take pity on him and think up a lot of clever tricks to help him.There are several different characters in the gang. There is Captain Perfect; the leader, a snoop spirit, a gossip, Mr Cool; a macho spirit, a lazy grovel and a servant spirit who looks after all the others. Words like macho and snoop are clearly explained.There is also a brilliant talking spirit cat that can copy people's voices and many other sounds. They work well together as a team and they make things very difficult for anyone who is unkind to Henry. For example, they soon make things very difficult indeed for a nasty sports teacher who bullies Henry about his lack of ability in sports. The reader will learn a lot about Thai culture from this lively international story. It is beautifully illustrated with more than twenty images, many in full colour. It is very useful for readers learning English.
