"A spooky, funny, magical and atmospheric adventure with a compelling hero you will adore." Jessica Townsend, New York Times bestselling author of Nevermoor
Maybe some ghosts enjoy walking through walls and being invisible - not me. I never asked to be a kid ghost.
With no memory of the kid she was before she was taken by the Witches, Corpse is bound to haunt the rock-that-doesn't-exist for ever.
Until she learns of a treasure, one that can reunite Corpse with her family and her name. She must set off for answers, on a journey across the stormy sea, battling magic, zombie-skeletons and monsters. But the Witches want the treasure too.
And they'll do anything to get to it first.
Welcome to Elston-Fright, a forgotten town where witches lurk, sea monsters roam and a girl is on the hunt for answers...
Previously published in the UK as The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name
Rezensionen / Stimmen
Brimming with magic and monsters of all varieties (and some of them are very cute!), this book weaves a spellbinding huntsman-sized-spider-web of fast-paced enchantment and adventure around your hands so you cannot put it down. It's compelling in the extreme and written with such emotion. I loved the themes of love and friendship overpowering unkindness and evil and I adored that the strength of family (whatever that might look like (and it differs in so many ways) gives off the most powerful magic of all: love. The ending is both sublime and poignant, with a final twist of a chapter that I did not see coming (and which brought a lump to my throat). I really do hope you go out and get yourself a copy of this book for the young magician in your life: you won't regret it. -- Mini Travellers
