Summary

A super funny and exciting pirate adventure for readers 8+ by the author of the bestselling Land of Roar series. Perfect for fans of BBC’s Ghosts!

SUNDAY TIMES CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE WEEK 30-10-22

Sid Jones has always known she is different,
but after accidentally freeing a 300-year-old
pirate ghost (using a gel pen and a chocolate bar),
Sid realises that she has actual MAGIC!

Sid starts to use her magic to free more ghosts,
who have all been trapped by the sinister innkeeper.
But then a mysterious sickness strikes the people
of Fathom. Can Sid and best friend Zen solve the
mystery, save the town and free the ghosts?

A truly epic conclusion to this dynamite duology from the bestselling author of the Land of Roar series

'Spooktacular fun! Funny, exciting, epic – I loved it!'
Sam Copeland, bestselling author

‘This is totally and utterly brilliant. Can’t put it down!’
Emma Carroll, bestselling author

‘I know Jenny’s gazillions of fans are going to LOVE this piratey, ghosty adventure. You'll be sucked in from the first page. If you haven't already, you should buy a copy immediately!’ Jennifer Killick, author of Crater Lake and Dread Wood.

‘This Dead Good Detectives duology is more than just a dead good read… it’s a gripping, rip-roaring, unmissable adventure!’ The Lancashire Evening Post
