The Time of the Ghost by Diana Wynne Jones
I'M ALL RIGHT. I'M HERE. I'M ME. IF I WASN'T, I WOULDN'T EVEN BE FRIGHTENED. I WOULDN'T KNOW. BUT SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED TO ME. I CAN'T SEE MYSELF AT ALL, NOT EVEN A SMEAR OF SHADOW ON THE ROAD. THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

STOP THAT!


The ghost turns up one summer day, alone in a world she once knew, among people who were once her family. She knows she is one of four sisters, but which one? She can be sure of only one thing – that there's been an accident.

As she struggles to find her identity, she becomes aware of a malevolent force stirring around her. Something terrible is about to happen. One of the sisters will die – unless the ghost can use the future to reshape the past. But how can she warn them, when they don't even know she exists?
