Lost Notes of the Soul Spinners: An Elston-Fright Tale

‘Imaginative and exciting.’ Judith Rossell, bestselling author of The Midwatch

There are two things about the Soul Spinners’ greatest creation on which everyone agrees – one, that the Notes have the power to grant a single wish, and two … that the Notes are lost.

When a ghost-eating wraith appears in the forgotten seaside town of Elston-Fright searching for the magical Notes, it’s enough to make any kid ghost a bit nervous. Faye de Corail may have the townsfolk under her spell, but Girl, Corpse and their friends are determined to stay out of her way.

After old foes resurface and a child is snatched, Girl and Corpse begin to piece together a sinister plan that not only threatens the lives of their friends, families and the people of Elston-Fright, it may send them all to Death Proper too.

Somehow, at the heart of the mystery, lies the truth about both kid ghosts. Who are Girl and Corpse really? What is their connection to the lost Notes? And will they find answers before it’s too late?

The enchanting conclusion to the bestselling and highly acclaimed Elston-Fright Tales series.
