'An exciting story, full of high-speed drama and breath-taking escapes, and it comes highly recommended, though maybe not for the faint-hearted.' - The Bookbag 'You will want to race through this book to see whether Isis has the powers to protect the people she loves.' - Guardian Children's Books site 'I was enchanted, gripped and freaked out by this book in a way I haven't been since The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.' - Liz Bankes, Armadillo Magazine Will her powers be enough to protect them all? And who will protect Isis? From the award-winning author of Flood Child. When a terrifying creature escapes from the dark places that even spirits fear to go, Isis realises that it puts everyone she cares about, living or dead, in grave danger. But unlike her mum, Isis really can see ghosts.


'We need you, Isis Dunbar…' Isis is the daughter of a fake psychic.

The ghost put his hands together in prayer or pleading, his fingernails withered and cracked.
