Official synopsis Publisher
“Why am I talking to you?” he asked aloud.
“I don’t believe in ghosts.”
“You want to know the truth,” replied the dybbuk,
“Neither do I. But here I am.”
Avrom Amos likes to crack jokes. He loves the spotlight. And if he wants something, he knows how to get it. He’s just like any other boy, except for one thing: He’s a ghost—a dybbuk. During World War Two he’d been murdered by the Nazis, right after he saved the life of a young ventriloquist named Freddie.
Freddie doesn’t know it yet, but he’s about to return the favor. Because the dybbuk wants revenge, and he knows exactly how to get it.
