Description
Japan, 1620: A mysterious shipwreck has left cabin boy Simon Grey stranded in an unfamiliar, dangerous land.
He hoped that a long sea voyage would provide some relief from his “gift” of seeing ghosts everywhere on land. Instead, he finds that his ability draws him into the shadowy world of yokai, the spirits and monsters that roam Japan by night. Together with the mysterious Oyuki, daughter of an English sailor-turned-samurai, Simon must earn the yokai's trust and help, while staying one step ahead of the Shogun's guards and an evil sorcerer determined to discover the “secret” of Simon’s powers.
As they struggle to stay alive and find a way home, Simon and Oyuki deal with friends and foes from both sides of the grave.
"Simon Grey and the March of a Hundred Ghosts" is a gripping fantasy adventure that will appeal to fans of Percy Jackson and Young Samurai.
Simon Grey and the March of a Hundred Ghosts will be available in print and ebook formats upon its release.

The premise was intriguing. The characters were interesting. The Japanese culture aspect was educational. But I just couldn't get into the story. All the way to the very end, which had a fitting ending and tied up nicely, I just kept trying to but couldn't get involved. That said, I have a few students who may find it a wonderful read, so will put it on the shelves.
