Quatrième de couverture :
Have you ever seen one of those movies where someone wakes up as a ghost but doesn't know they've died? However much I tried, I couldn't make then notice me. I was invisible. The ghost boy.
In January 1988, aged twelve, Martin Pistorius fell inexplicably ill. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. Doctors were mystified and told his parents an unknown degenerative disease had left their son with the mind of a baby. What nobody knew is that while Martin's body remained unresponsive his mind slowly woke up, yet he could tell no-one. He was a prisoner inside his own body.
It took ten years before a therapist sensed part of Martin was alert and his parents realised their son was as intelligent as ever. With no memories from before his illness, Martin was a man-child reborn in a world he didn't know. He was still in a wheelchair, unable to speak, but he was brilliantly adept at computer technology. Since then, and against all odds, he has fallen in love, married and set up a web design business.
Ghost Boy is a deeply moving account of recovery and the power of love. His extraordinary story acts as a wake-up call to cherish our lives.

Ghost Boy is a deeply moving account of recovery and the power of love. His extraordinary story acts as a wake-up call to cherish our lives.
In January 1988, aged twelve, Martin Pistorius fell inexplicably sick. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound, being cared for at centres for severely disabled children. What no-one knew is that while Martin's body remained unresponsive, his mind slowly woke up, yet he could tell no-one, a prisoner inside his own body. During this time, he suffered abuse of a kind that is barely imaginable, yet still he kept the spirit of hope alive. It wasn't until he was twenty-three that a gentle therapist realised he was alert to everything and, along with his parents, assisted his road to recovery. Since then, against all odds, he has fallen in love, married, and now runs a thriving web design business. Martin's extraordinary story is a deeply moving account of the power of love.
