BARNETT SIMMONDS BIDIKAR
Are you sure? I mean, there’s not much to tell, really. So, my name is Feargal Ferguson. Everybody calls me Fergie. I’m 15. Nearly 16. I live with my mum in Preston, which is in the north of England. My mum loves me but she’s a bit… flaky. I don’t have many friends. Well, I didn’t until I met Sid. The problem is, only I can see or hear Sid. He’s a ghost. Of a dead punk rocker, and we’re kind of stuck together. It was fun at first, but then weird stuff started to happen. I had a fight with a bully at school and he died. Except I didn’t lay a finger on him. But I’ve started to get these strange psychic abilities. I even made this gorgeous girl at school, Natalie, have a dream about me. Well, I didn’t mean to. I can’t really control all this stuff that’s happening to me. Now there’s this old woman called
Dorothy Culpepper, who I think is with the government, after me. And the police think I killed that kid at school, so they’re after me. And that’s not even the weirdest part. The really weird part is that there are these magpies but they can turn into monsters. And they’re after me as well. Oh, and it turns out that my dad, who I’ve never met, might be some kind of demon or lord of Hell or something. But my mum hasn’t seen him since before I was born. So Sid and me, we did the only thing we could do and headed to London, to see if we could find my dad, Billy (though some people call him Beleth), and find out if he knows why I’ve got these freaky powers and what these magpie monsters are and why this mad old woman is after me. Um… did I say there wasn’t much to tell…?
