Dead Good Detectives

*Signed Bookplates!*

The first in a spooky series from the UK's bestselling author of the Land of Roar series, starring a quirky girl who must free the soul of a ghostly pirate while avoiding the terrifying specter holding him hostage.

Twelve-year-old Sid Jones and her best friend, Zen, like to play spooky games of pretend in their local graveyard — but they never expected their escapades to suddenly turn real.

When Sid accidentally frees the spirit of Ezekiel “Bones” Kittow, a pirate who died nearly 300 years prior, he asks her to help him find his long-lost treasure so his soul can finally be at rest. The only problem? He can’t remember where or even what the treasure is.

With nothing but a ghostly hand-drawn map to help guide their search, Sid, Bones, Zen, and an annoyingly loud ghost parrot set out to complete their quest. But haunting their every step is Old Scratch, a creepy specter who runs the eerie graveyard prison keeping Bones, his crew, and many others trapped. Old Scratch won’t let Bones be free without a fight, and in the end, there may be much more sinister threats to face down….
