Words of the Dead

 

Words of the Dead is a series of books inspired by ghost stories and folklore, in which, teenager, Iris Emmott, reluctantly discovers she has a gift for communicating with the dead and helping them to resolve their problems.  Will she use it or will she pretend she doesn't know?

 

The first book in the series, The Highwayman of Hurst Green, tells the story of highwayman Ned King who reputedly lived and 'worked' in Hurst Green for several years, and how Iris finds she can use her powers to help his trapped spirit.

 

When you're dead, maybe you are meant to accept that you have no choice, and to sleep peacefully for eternity.

Maybe.

And maybe that's what most people do when they die.

But that's not for me.  I have things I need to say, a voice that needs to be heard, and a greivance that needs to be resolved.
