This book serves as an introduction to Thomas and his group of friends, characters who live their stories with the school environment as context. This space, which is part of the reality of the little ones, allows us to explore the joys, fantasies and fears of that stage of life in which everything seems to be possible. The main objective of the book is to provide children's readers with a world in which they can see themselves reflected, that is familiar to them and that at the same time encourages them in their development, offering answers to questions or problems typical of this stage of life. More specifically, it is sought that through the adventures of these characters and their families, it is possible to transmit such expensive values as friendship, loyalty, courage, tolerance, work, honesty and the joy of learning. All of them, true foundations of a positive maturity. In the case of "The School´s Ghost", the story seeks to capture attention with the search for answers to the mystery, reconstructing a path that encourages the reader to search for logical solutions, based on arguments and information. The "mystery" of what is happening at school generates curiosity in the protagonist, which serves as a trigger for new questions, something fundamental for learning, which is presented as a collective task, in which friendship is a main pillar. The outcome reinforces this idea, seeking to generate a positive feeling regarding the expectations that every child has about the world that he is beginning to discover.

You will find yourself holding your breath. I truly wasn't sure what was going to happen but let's just say it will blow you away!"--Southermermaid85, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "Awesome series!! Could not put the books down!"--Kris MacGillivray, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This story had me in a roller coaster of emotions and worries. I was constantly in edge thinking what will happen? Is this real or part of the therapy. Eva did a wonderful job keeping me on my toes and making my mind work on overdrive. So many references from studies I myself have looked into. I loved!"--Mariela, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "This novel was spooky and eerily entertaining. Pohler's phenomenal descriptions of the natural world leave you breathless while her fantastically imaginative storytelling keep you hooked."--Jonel, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★ "For fans of Eva Pohler's other series The Purgatorium is quite different; there is nothing supernatural here, merely psychological which has the ability to simultaneously unsettle a reader and force you to keep reading. There is a sense of schadenfreude in elements of this series which made me stop and think about at what point does the end justify the means; this is a great takeaway from the books and will leave the reader questioning the ethics of psychology."--Tamara, Amazon Reviewer★★★★★ Grab your copy to begin this chilling adventure today!
