Annerton Pit

By Peter Dickinson

Book Overview

A blind boy and his brother set out on a motorcycle in search of their ghost-hunting grandfather

It all starts with the postman. Jake cannot see the mail, but he is an excellent listener, and he can tell by the sound the mail makes when it hits the floor that bad news is coming. At the top of the pile is a very thin letter rejecting Jake's brother, Martin, from every college he applied to. Even worse, there is no news from their grandfather, an eccentric ghost hunter whose supernatural investigations have carried him into the wilds of northern England. Martin cashes in his college savings to buy a secondhand motorcycle, and the boys set out to find their grandfather. It is a trip that will change their lives forever.

This book features an illustrated personal history of Peter Dickinson including rare images from the author's collection.

Entertaining

Highly entertaining and well written adventure with supernatural overtones for YA readers. Most of the action is described from the point of view of the main character, who is blind. A realistic and positive portrayal of blindness.
