Can You Hear Me? by Penny Kendal
An ordinary suburban house hides a dark secret in this chilling mystery novel. Leah hates the house and hates living in a mess while her dad does the much needed renovations. The house gives her the creeps and her fears are realised when the ghost of a boy appears in her bedroom. She discovers he lived in the house in the 1970s - but how did he die? And why does nobody seem to know he is dead? Leah's attempts to unravel the truth lead her into unexpected danger... This is a gripping tale in which Leah's story is interspersed with the ghost's own first person story, keeping the reader one step ahead.
