What’s the book about?
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?

About the author:
Reece Carter is the bestselling author of A Girl Called Corpse and The Lonely Lighthouse of Elston-Fright. Growing up in Tammin, Western Australia, there was an unfortunate lack of witches and ghosts on his family’s farm, and so Reece had to find them in books instead. Roald Dahl, Paul Jennings and Emily Rodda were some of his first favourite authors. When Reece moved away to boarding school at the age of eleven, he could regularly be found hiding in the library, tucked away in the corner with a good book, or else seeking out new recommendations from the school librarians. With the encouragement of his English teacher, Reece started writing his own stories too – although back then they never got much further than character outlines and first chapters. After a few years spent travelling overseas, Reece moved to Melbourne to study health science. But even while working as a nutritionist by day, Reece maintained a secret double life, continuing to write middle-grade novels and short stories by night. Now, Reece lives in Sydney and writes kids’ fiction full-time. When not reading or writing, Reece can usually be found talking to his dog Hagrid – and hoping that one of these days Hagrid might decide to talk back.
