the GHOST of LITTLE HAVEN: Book One Greyhaven Series

Some places do not let go.Isla Archer did not choose Greyhaven. With both her parents deployed and an ocean between them, she has been sent across the water to an island she has never seen, to a grandmother she barely knows, to wait.Then she hears about Little Haven - the village six miles out past the last dark point of the headland, empty now, its houses gone to grass. Everyone on this coast has a story about the place. Nobody will say why they stopped going there. And there is a rule nobody will explain either: if you hear somebody calling your name across the water after dark, you do not answer.On that far shore, in a house that has no business still standing, Isla finds a barefoot girl with a smudge on her cheek and a cardigan missing its top button - a girl who is quite certain her family is coming back for her any day now.Her name is Annie Mercer.She has been waiting a very long time. And Isla is the first person in all that time to ask.A ghost story about the people we lose, the silences families keep, and what it costs to finally say a name out loud.Illustrated throughout. Book One of the Greyhaven Series. For readers 8-12.
