The Dead Fathers Club by Matt Haig
A modern retelling of Shakespeare's "Hamlet," this novel follows 11-year-old Philip Noble, who is visited by the ghost of his recently deceased father. The ghost reveals that he was murdered by Philip's uncle, who is now pursuing a relationship with Philip's mother. Tasked with avenging his father's death, Philip grapples with the moral complexities of revenge, the challenges of adolescence, and the weight of family secrets. As he navigates these turbulent waters, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, leading to a poignant exploration of grief, loyalty, and the struggle to do what is right.
