THE PLOT
Some time after his wife’s death, William Harris, a forty-year-old writer, realizes that his bedroom is haunted. William names the ghost ‘Poldy’ from the word ‘poltergeist’. You know that a poltergeist is a playful ghost. Poldy is always in the room and he only appears when they play a game. He never appears when William Harris uses the light switch. He appears only when he pulls the plug out. When William puts the plug back in, Poldy disappears and he does not come back.
Every day William works in his usual way but his life is different now because he enjoys Poldy’s company. In the beginning they play happy games that they invent but as time goes by, the games become more and more dangerous. William is terrified and he does not want to play games any more, at least not with this evil ghost which is the ghost of his dear wife, Julie whom William murdered. ..
MAIN CHARACTERS
William Harris isn’t easy going. He is a bit boring but he is smart.
Poldy is my favourite character. He seems to be evil, funny, kind and playful at the same time.
THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT
The most important event is when William Harris plays a strange game with the ghost Poldy. One night when the ghost appears, William pulls the plug of his lamp out of the socket and the ghost disappears. It is the most important event because the readers believe that in this way William can get rid of the ghost’s presence.
I believe that this book is amazing! I recommend it to those classmates of mine that like mysteries.
