Description
Danger, darkness and a mysterious legacy unveiled in this magical seaside adventure by the bestselling author of A Girl Called Corpse.
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.

The second book in the series, this follows Corpse, Girl, Simon and Flip as they continue to have Very Important Adventure and protect Elston-Fright from Evil Somethings.
The same as the first, it's witty and wacky and perfect for those ages 8 - 10ish. It will help if they have read the first one but having said that, an astute reader wouldn't struggle to work out what's happened. The author has left lots of helpful clues and explanations through the book to help with that. This one reveals more about Flip and his family, and leaves plenty of space for a third novel.
Another I would recommend buying for kids wanting a fun story with nothing too serious. The series is a safe bet for anyone buying birthday presents for kids too.

Just as great as the first book in the series. I loved it! Corpse and Flip’ s alternating voices work so well to tell the story of what happened after the witches were banished from Elston-Fright. The secrets that are revealed and the new enemies the friends must face keep you turning pages and holding your breath that things will turn out ok! Can’t wait for book 2!
