Don't open the box, warned the old man. But Charlie can't help himself... ?

Fourteen-year-old London schoolboy Charlie has been looking forward to playing football with his mates in the Christmas holidays. Instead he is packed off to the wilds of the East Anglian coast to stay with an uncle he barely knows. It's going to be a tough week.

Uncle Patrick's ramshackle house doesn't have wi-fi, his daughter Ariel seems determined to be vile - and who are the mysterious children laughing after dark in the empty bedroom next to Charlie's?

When Charlie finds an ancient brass box buried on the beach, he unleashes a chilling sequence of events. At least these bring him and his grumpy cousin together, as the pair battle to solve the mystery of the 'box of souls' and re-capture the violent ghostly presence wreaking havoc around the town.

A stirring spine-chiller, Ghost Tide is a spooky, unforgettable tale of restless spirits and youthful heroism.

Industry Reviews

'I was with Charlie every step of the way on this action-packed emotional rollercoaster of an adventure story. It grabs you from the first page and transports you to an exhilarating world of buried treasure, evil skullduggery and breathtaking discoveries' - Anne-Marie Conway

'Love, love, loved Jim Cockin's spookily spellbinding gothic ghost story Ghost Tide which gripped me with an icy finger from the very first page and left me pale and breathless by the last! Surely more ghost-busting adventures to follow for Ariel and Charlie and the 'Cloven Pine' poltergeist crew! Perfect for fans of Penelope Lively and Malamander. A spookily spectacular debut!' - Catherine Bruton
