The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name cover

"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...

The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name is ghoulishly charming! A spooky, funny, magical and atmospheric adventure with a compelling hero you will adore. The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name feels like a worthy successor to Coraline by way of The Witches, with a creepy, comic touch of Round the Twist for good measure. I loved it. * Jessica Townsend, New York TImes bestselling author of the Nevermoor series. *
A fast-paced roller coaster ride full of spooky drama that whirls around a deep and lovely heart. * Just Imagine *
Seriously spooky, with lots of clever twists * Irish Independent *
