New Book for Young Readers Offers Both Classic Appeal and Unique Perspective on Growing Up
Tamworth, AUSTRALIA (PRWEB) June 29, 2007 -- Rarely has such a magical book as Mister Doppelganger: A Ghost Story by Amy Freeman been available for juvenile readers. Told from the perspective of 12-year-old Amy -- the author's "inner child" -- Mister Doppelganger has a little bit of everything -- the excitement and difficulty of adolescence, the thrill of ghost sightings and buried treasure, the loss of a beloved grandmother, and learning what it means to grow up.
Set in Australia, the messages of Mister Doppelganger are applicable to all English-speaking children around the world. As Freeman's protagonist begins to understand the importance of thinking for herself and making friends across age boundaries, young readers will be guided through the first steps of growing up in any culture.
Mister Doppelganger is truly a book that children and parents can enjoy together. The author writes with an irreverent charm that will peak the interest of mischievous adolescents and transport parents back to the days when they, too, hovered on the cusp of change.
For more information or to request a free review copy, please contact the author. Mister Doppelganger is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.
