The Haunted Hills by Berlie Doherty

rgoodhart's review

4.0

A moving exploration of friendship between two young teenage boys… something that isn’t written about all that often.

Tackling issues of grief, guilt, jealousy, anxiety; touching on bullying, ghost stories, family relationships.

Short but atmospheric and well written.
