Part gothic thriller and part coming-of-age story, a new illustrated middle-grade fantasy from award-winning author Frances Hardinge and acclaimed illustrator Emily Gravett about a strange island filled with ghosts and long-buried secrets. A remarkable and ultimately heartwarming story of grief, family, kindness, and being true to yourself. On the misty island of Merlack, the lingering dead can cause unspeakable harm if they're not safely carried to the island of the Broken Tower, where they can move on. Milo's father always told him that he wasn't suited for dealing with the dead and could never become the Ferryman of the Dead--but one day, he's unexpectedly thrust into the role. And his father is his first passenger . . .
