The Dead Fathers Club: Matt Haig

Philip Noble is an eleven-year-old in crisis. His pub landlord father has died in a road accident, and his mother is succumbing to the greasy charms of her dead husband`s brother, Uncle Alan. The remaining certainties of Philip`s life crumble away when his father`s ghost appears in the pub and declares Uncle Alan murdered him.
Arming himself with weapons from the school chemistry cupboard, Philip vows to carry out the ghost`s relentless demands for revenge. But can the words of a ghost be trusted any more than the lies of the living?
