The Turnkey Of Highgate Cemetery by Allison Rushby
This book has everything I really love... ghosts, cemeteries, historical setting during WWII and creative twists of being a spirit. The story follows Flossie, a young ghost that was chosen to hold the key to Highgate Cemetery. Her job is to make sure that all the people buried there are comfortable and resting and that is pretty difficult during a war with bombs being dropped all around them. One day while retrieving a doll for a restless young girl, Flossie sees a ghost carrying a crystal skull that looks familiar to her. That is all I am going to say about the story because I do not want to spoil it but I highly recommend it to kids of all ages especially during the Fall/Halloween season.
