Wib Willett and the Tombstone Club - Paperback

by Patricia Bow (Author)

WIB GET OUT NOW Letter by letter, etched by an invisible hand, the warning formed across the back of the piano before Wib's eyes. People in Amstey say the old Morphy house is haunted, "has been for years. Everybody knows that." Wib, who once lived there, knows only one thing. The house is not safe. There are places in it he was told not to go: like the room of whispers in the cellar. All the rest is questions. Who are the three mysterious "sisters" who live there now? Why does the telescope in the cupola show places so far away and out of time? And the black dog that prowls the house at night, who is it hunting? Top of the list, who and what is Henry? An imaginary childhood friend, a ghost, or something stranger? None of that can keep Wib from the old Morphy house. He and Henry need each other. Henry to get free of what has him trapped. And Wib to find something hidden in the house: something stolen that he must get back, or nothing will ever be right for him again.
