A Supernatural Soldier's StoryPrivate Arthur J. Wright is a paranormal exception. Killed at the Somme in WWI when only fifteen, this boy soldier refuses to pass over until he warns future generations not to be fooled by the lies of war. For 100 years, he has watched over Aylesford Village - silently ghosted and forgotten by the world, forced to witness generations of local boys walk blindly into the exact same trap.
The ghost soldier meets a fourteen-year-old, also named Arthur, who can miraculously see and hear him. The living Arthur is fighting a different kind of war, surrounded by a constant stream of digital propaganda on social media. The War Machine of 1914 has evolved into the deceptive social media algorithms of today.There is a desperate race against time. The longer the ghost delays passing to the afterlife, the faster his energy drains. If he doesn't move on soon, he will fade away completely.A must-read for teenagers, giving a real-life insight into the true horrors of the First World War, exposing the challenges young people face today amid the distractions of modern life. Two Boys. One War Machine.From the prolific young author Kieran Terence Quinn
