The Boggart

A Boggart tries to find his way home in this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Newbery winner Susan Cooper&;s classic tale of magic and mischief. When Emily and Jess Volnik&;s family inherits a remote, crumbling Scottish castle, they also inherit the Boggart that lives there&;an invisible, mischievous spirit who&;s been playing tricks on residents of Castle Keep for generations. Then the Boggart is trapped in a rolltop desk and inadvertently shipped to the Volniks&; home in Toronto, where nothing will ever be the same&;for the Volniks or the Boggart. In a world that doesn&;t believe in magic, the Boggart&;s pranks wreak havoc. And even the newfound joys of peanut butter and pizza and fudge sauce eventually wear thin for the Boggart. He wants to go home&;but his only hope lies in a risky and daring blend of modern technology and ancient magic.
