Description

After his mom dies, PJ reluctantly leaves his New York home and everyone he loves, to live with his Aunt Katie in Edinburgh. A series of strange events begin when his aunt’s elderly neighbour and her cat Azrael convince him that his mom, weirdly, is still very much with him.

At a bereavement counselling group, PJ makes a new group of friends, all of whom have lost loved ones. Drawn together by their shared experiences, they soon discover they have something else in common; an interest in the supernatural. Freya is the daughter of a white witch, Sunny has a scientific and enquiring mind and Shuggie, a superfan of ghost hunting programmes. Led by PJ, they try to prove that there is life after death and that their loved ones are still with them. The team receives strange messages leading them to investigate Greyfriars Kirkyard where they experience terrifying paranormal activity and PJ is drawn into the clutches of the evil Mackenzie Poltergeist after reciting a famous rhyme that invites the restless spirit to draw back the bolt of his scary mausoleum to allow him entry. There, he finds himself in a fight of good against evil with the ghost of Sir George Mackenzie.

"get Tae France" I really enjoyed this book! However, it didn't read like a YA book and I found it more middle grade but it definitely had reference to films and TV shows that would not suit a young audience. Very readable and had all the feels in it, grief and coping with grief, a lot of paranormal research descriptions and some pretty good tension. All in all I would very much recommend to anyone who enjoys reading spooky middle grade or YA books.
After the death of his mother, New Yorker, PJ is sent to live with his aunt in Edinburgh (being his only relative) obviously PJ, still dealing with this loss isnt in the best of moods about this and just wants to go back to his friends and dog he left behind. At a youth grief meeting he bonds with 3 others and soon they find common interests in the paranormal and start a ghost Hunt. A fun, somewhat light hearted slice of spooky goings on in Edinburgh.
