Synopsis
Thirteen-year-old Kit Watson and his family move to the English mining town of Stoneygate to help care for his recently widowed Grandfather. Kit's nervous about starting at a new school, but he soon makes friends with an artistic yet bullying outcast named John Askew. When John invites Kit to play a new game he's invented, Kit agrees but then learns that the game is called Death--and it is played in the abandoned mines. Later, while playing the game, Kit encounters the ghosts of his ancestors who died in mining accidents--and learns he has more in common with John than he ever imagined. Named one of the Best Children's Books 2000 by Publishers Weekly. Winner of the 2001 Michael L. Printz Award for Excellence in Literature for Young Adults., Thirteen-year-old Kit goes to live with his grandfather in the decaying coal mining town of Stoneygate, England, and finds both the old man and the town haunted by ghosts of the past.
