PJ and the Paranormal Pursuers cover

After his mom dies, PJ reluctantly leaves his New York home and everyone he loves, to live with his Aunt Katie in Edinburgh. A series of strange events begin when his aunt's elderly neighbour and her cat Azrael convince him that his mom, weirdly, is still very much with him.

At a bereavement counselling group, PJ makes a new group of friends, all of whom have lost loved ones. Drawn together by their shared experiences, they soon discover they have something else in common, an interest in the supernatural. Freya is the daughter of a white witch, Sunny has a scientific and enquiring mind and Shuggie, a superfan of ghost hunting programmes. Led by PJ, they try to prove that there is life after death and that their loved ones are still with them.

But will they succeed in a fight of good against evil?

 “If you are, or know someone who is a teenager with a newfound interest in the supernatural and paranormal, this is the book for you.” 

The Courier and Advertiser (Fife Edition)

“PJ and his friends make a great group of characters, and there’s lots of laughter to be had as well as scares, while ‘auld reekie’ provides the perfect backdrop for these ghostly goings-on.”

LoveReading4Kids & LoveReading4Schools

“This is a terrific story for teen readers to devour on a spooky autumn evening.”
