The novel "A Little Ghost" opens its world with a reality scarred by war. Its young hero, Shabil, is forced to move to a safe place, and then finds himself on an adventure to move across the sea to another, different place. The sea will be a means like a wormhole, or a vehicle to travel through time to a completely different place, a place that is the opposite of everything the protagonist lives. He will move from a hell ruled by war to a world ruled by science. The novel follows two tracks: a social one, which talks about war, and a larger fantasy track, which talks about science fiction. In the first track, the narrator talks about the war and its consequences, and in the other track, she reveals how the other side of the world has reached an incredible degree of knowledge.
There is a parallel track that talks about the heritage of Andalusia, its beauty, its history, and its hidden secrets that Shabil reveals and discovers for the first time. With this invocation of history, he wants to tell us that our ancient ancestors built a civilization worthy of pride. After his trip, Shabil returns to his village to discover that reality has not changed, but rather has gotten worse. Thus, the novel conveyed its message: In order for our hellish reality to change into one governed by knowledge and glory, we must always choose peace. Quotations from the novel: "If the Lantern Genie appeared to you, Father, and told you that he would grant you one wish, just one, what would you choose? My father smiled and said: I will tell him: Give us a day without death. "War destroys everything, but it cannot destroy the human being within us."
"Never side with war. If one day you have to choose between war and peace, choose peace, even if you are confident of winning the war."
