The Lonely Lighthouse of Elston-Fright cover

The thing about magic is that it likes to stay hidden...

Flip Little's family have always been Lightkeepers, guardians sworn to protect the town of Elston-Fright from magical, monstrous threats. And Flip is no stranger to magic; only he knows about the two ghost-girls haunting a rock out at sea.

When their spider friend, Simon, is spider-napped by ancient Poltergusts, weather ghouls out to cause mayhem, Flip, Girl and Corpse set out to rescue him. But first they must find and return the missing Light to the lighthouse, restoring its magic.

Only nothing in Elston-Fright is quite as it seems. Questions bubble up from the deep. Dark secrets emerge. And soon, Flip and his friends learn that in order to beat the Poltergusts they need to understand what happened in the past.

Praise for the Elston-Fright Tales:

"A spooky, funny, magical and atmospheric adventure with a compelling hero you will adore. " Jessica Townsend, New York Times bestselling author of Nevermoor

"Seriously spooky, with lots of clever twists." Irish Independent

"An intriguing story lavishly layered with magic, mystery and secrets to uncover." Richard Pritchard, bestselling co-creator of the Wylah the Koorie Warrior series

"Beautifully original ... kept me up until the witching hour." Amelia Mellor, bestselling author of The Grandest Bookshop in the World

"Stunningly spooky, with a heart-warming friendship. A magical ghostly adventure you can't put down!" Nat Amoore, bestselling author of We Run Tomorrow

I adored this wonderful work of fiction. It's filled with trickster weather, ghoulish gusts, magical mayhem, ghost girls, spiteful seafoam sprites, spiders, secrets, witches and wonder. But it is also filled with love, friendship, imagination and deliciously dark adventure which will have you turning the pages as quickly as you can. The end of the book leaves the reader on a cliffhanger so I am praying that there will be another gorgeously ghostly book to follow?! Pretty please! -- Mini Traveller
