Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A ghost story with a twist, from Matt Haig, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library."Matt Haig has an empathy for the human condition, the light and the dark of it, and he uses the full palette to build his excellent stories." Neil Gaiman, author of American GodsPhilip Noble is an eleven-year-old in crisis. His pub landlord father has died in a road accident, and his mother is succumbing to the greasy charms of her dead husband's brother, Uncle Alan. The remaining certainties of Philip's life crumble away when his father's ghost appears in the pub and declares Uncle Alan murdered him.Arming himself with weapons from the school chemistry cupboard, Philip vows to carry out the ghost's relentless demands for revenge. But can the words of a ghost be trusted any more than the lies of the living? A ghost story with a twist-a suspenseful and poignantly funny update of "Hamlet" A triumph of originality and humor, this clever novel by British author Matt Haig gives us "Hamlet" redux with an unforgettable voice all his own. When eleven-year-old Philip Noble is confronted by the ghost of his recently deceased father and asked to avenge his death, the boy finds himself in a thorny dilemma. Revenge, after all, is a tricky business-especially when Philip is already distracted by his girlfriend, school bullies, self-doubt, and all the other challenges of adolescence. Viewing the adult world through the eyes of a young boy, "The Dead Fathers Club" is a brilliant, quirky take on a classic tale.
