The Boggart By: Susan Cooper

Jessup and his sister Emily inherited Castle Keep up in Scotland. They journeyed up there to check it out. Emily took a large rolltop desk and several books about the castle as souvenirs. Their family spent several nights at the castle and then they decided to sell it. They went home and strange things started happening; the lights turned off and on, stereos and all electrical things went wonky. It was a Boggart: an invisible shape-shifter that loves mischief and icecream . They found out that they accidentally shipped him home away from his castle. They eventually found a way to get him home but it was at the risk of destroying thier computers and his entire being
This book was great for readers from 4th-7th grade students. I loved the great storyline and detail (of course I don't dislike any books).

Hayden, I read this book a long time ago. I have read other books by Susan Cooper and especially enjoyed The Dark Is Rising series.
