A triumph of originality and humor, this clever novel by
British author Matt Haig gives us Hamlet redux with
an unforgettable voice all his own. When eleven-year-old
Philip Noble is confronted by the ghost of his recently
deceased father and asked to avenge his death, the boy finds
himself in a thorny dilemma. Revenge, after all, is a tricky
business—especially when Philip is already distracted by his
girlfriend, school bullies, self-doubt, and all the other
challenges of adolescence. Viewing the adult world through
the eyes of a young boy, The Dead Fathers Club is a
brilliant, quirky take on a classic tale.
