Suspense. HTML:Part gothic thriller and part coming-of-age story, a new illustrated middle-grade fantasy from award-winning<br /> author Frances Hardinge and acclaimed illustrator Emily Gravett about a strange island filled with ghosts and<br /> long-buried secrets On the misty island of Merlack, the lingering dead can cause unspeakable harm if they're<br /> not safely carried to the island of the Broken Tower, where they can move on. Milo's father always told him<br /> that he wasn't suited for dealing with the dead and could never become the Ferryman of the Dead—but one<br /> day, he's unexpectedly thrust into the role. And his father is his first passenger . . . Soon after, the teenage<br /> daughter of the Lord of Merlock passes. But the Lord of Merlock isn't prepared to give her up, and he follows<br /> Milo's boat in pursuit, in a boat filled with armed men and two sinister magicians at his command. It's a race<br /> to the island as Milo must face swarms of sinister moths, strange headless birds, and chillingly shrouded<br /> figures to carry his ghostly passengers across the secret seas. Filled with suspense and Hardinge's signature<br /> sparkling prose, this new story—accompanied throughout by striking illustrations by award-winning illustrator<br /> Emily Gravett—will keep you on the edge of your seat in this remarkable and ultimately heartwarming story of<br /> grief, family, kindness, and being true to yourself.
