The Ghost In The Big Brass Bed (1991) - Plot & Excerpts
Bruce Coville's books are always about more than what meets the eye. In The Ghost in the Big Brass Bed, he tackles nothing less than the horror and fruitlessness of war. But don't worry--anyone looking for a good, old-fashioned ghost story is sure to get it as well. I know it’s a cliché, but I laughed, I cried—sometimes on the same page. With a hint of peaceful spirituality that I notice so often in his work, Coville closes the book with an ending that satisfies in more ways than one. (End note: I do think he tends to overexplain things a bit, which can drag down the pace, but perhaps this will be an asset to the inquisitive reader :-)).
