The Haunting of Tyrese Walker by J.P. Rose

4.0

This was a fun little romp across Jamaica, using some genuine folk stories and some good emotional drama. It's lovely to see kids books that include the old expressions, patois celebrated rather than discouraged as 'not formal enough', and some of the superstitions developed into full narratives. The reveal was good, the tension was high, and I loved the friendships in it.

Main annoyance was that Tyrese is hard-headed, to a point that I occasionally became frustrated watching him refuse to make any revelations unless forced. I mean, I'm not a teenager though, so that might be why I struggled - emotions run higher and harder at that age.
