Synopsis

Because the ghosts that the three friends summon aren't just any ghosts. They were captured from an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean-the Ilhas dos Fantasmas-a place where the living and the dead once coexisted peacefully. Now confined to the pages of a few dozen library books in a New England town that's thousands of miles from their home, the ghosts must rely on the children and a determined librarian to free them before they are lost forever.
