 | Devil's Race by Avi
Sixteen-year-old John has always considered himself to be an average-to-boring person. He thinks the only extraordinary thing about him is that he is named after his great-great-great-grandfather, who was believed to be a demon and was hung in 1854. When John visits the man's grave, he is astounded to come face to face with a ghost who looks exactly like him. Is this the demon of 1854 trying to assume John's modern-day identity and life?
