Megan Wynne: The Spirit of Loughmoe Abbey

What if the dead could help the living?

Troubled Gwen doesn’t fit in at boarding school but everything changes when she encounters a mysterious ghost who reveals a family secret.

Home schooled all her life, Gwen is packed off to boarding school when her mother goes into hospital.

Gwen believes the key to making her mother better is to be a success at school. Trouble is Gwen doesn’t fit in. She is bottom of the class, useless at games and doesn’t get along with her classmates, but in 1980s Ireland, nobody has heard of neurodivergence - especially in girls!

Gwen wishes she could make friends but doesn’t know what a ‘real’ friend is. To make matters worse she is haunted by a mysterious spirit who wants to help Gwen and her mother. Can Gwen trust the spirit? And can the two of them make Gwen’s mum better?

An extraordinary ghost story about a family mystery and finding ‘real’ friendship.
