Review quote:
“We're big fans of children's author Rob Keeley. He's a ball of happy positivity, he understands children, and he writes for their pleasure and enjoyment...

This story blends ghostly mysteries, time travel, and historical adventure, making it a unique mix of paranormal fiction and historical fantasy. But what deeper secrets might Would You Like to Adopt a Ghost? hold? Here are some theories about what could happen:
1. Edward’s Time-Travel Powers Have a Darker Origin
How does Edward have the ability to time-travel? Could he have been cursed, experimented on, or granted powers by an unknown force? Maybe his ability isn’t just a gift—it could come with serious consequences.
2. The Fitzberranger Family Has Hidden Secrets
Simon Fitzberranger and his Anti-War Party might seem like allies, but could there be a hidden agenda? If Edward is tied to their family, perhaps his time-traveling abilities are the key to a much larger plan.
3. The Ghost Adoption Ritual Has Unintended Consequences
Placing three twigs outside a home sounds simple, but what if this ritual is part of an ancient contract? Maybe adopting Edward binds Ruby and Jayden to something bigger—like protecting the timeline or even stopping supernatural threats.
4. Edward Was Never Meant to Leave His Haunted House
Why was Edward supposed to stay put? Could there be supernatural laws keeping spirits in place? Maybe his absence has triggered unexpected dangers, like rifts in time or other spirits trying to follow him into the present.
5. The Royal Kidnapping Plot Is More Than It Seems
A royal kidnapping during WWII could change history forever. What if the villains aren’t just political enemies, but supernatural beings? Maybe ghosts, time travelers, or even Edward’s own family are involved in ways no one expects.
With Victorian ghosts, wartime dangers, and time-travel twists, Would You Like to Adopt a Ghost? promises a thrilling adventure full of mystery and surprises. What secrets will Ruby, Jayden, and Edward uncover next?
