Description
Being a Lightkeeper is Very Serious Business.
Nobody in Elston-Fright believes in magic anymore. Well, nobody except for Flip Little, his nan and his friends: a girl called Corpse, a ghost called Girl and a very large spider called Simon.
But when Simon is spider-napped by ancient weather ghouls called the Poltergusts, Flip and his ghostly companions turn to the last Lightkeeper's journals for answers. To rescue their friend, they will need to find and return the missing Light to the lighthouse, restoring its lost magic.
Only nothing in Elston-Fright is as it seems. Questions bubble up from the deep. Dark secrets come to light. And pretty soon, Flip and his friends learn that in order to save the future of Elston-Fright, they'll first need to understand its past.
Review
Flip Little is the last in a long line of Little’s charged with guarding the lighthouse of Elston-Fright. But they have not been able to do this since the light was stolen many years ago. Will Flip be able to find the light and protect the people from all sorts of ghostly evils?
Flip has the assistance of his friends Corpse, Girl and Simon the giant spider. But most of the town don’t believe that magic exists. So when the town is attacked by the four winds, the four friends are up against their evil power alone.
When Flip learns the truth about his ancestor's actions, will he be able to right past wrongs?And will they ultimately be able to save the town?
Filled with ghostly characters and mischievous sea sprites, this is a terrific adventure story. Set in the same town and with some of the same characters as A Girl Called Corpse , it can beeasily read as a stand alone story too.
Perfect for readers aged 10 to 14.
