Synopsis

Recovering from a long illness, Sam moves into a flat of her own, to make a new, independent start. The only problem is that the spare room in the flat has something very wrongwith it. It's cold, it has a strange atmosphere, and strange pools of water gather on the floor without explanation. Then the old lady downstairs, who keeps talking about someone called Grace, who she insists will be coming back to the flat. As Sam finds out the truth about Grace, and the reason the flat is haunted - with some hair-raising encounters with Grace's ghost along the way - so she starts to come to terms with her own problems in a very satisfying conclusion.

From the Author

Some of this book takes place on the West Pier in Brighton. While I was writing it I was worried the pier might be renovated before I finished it. Sadly the pier collapsed recently. I wonder what will happen to my ghosts now the pier has burnt down?

The Crying is shortlisted for the Lancashire Children's Book of the Year Award 2003.
