A brave girl flees a ghoul while trying to save her town in this lively, fantasitcal and fast-paced companion to William Alexander's National Book Award winning debut, Goblin Secrets.

Kaile lives in the astonishing city of Zombay, where goblins walk the streets and witches weave charms and spin curses. Kaile wants to be a musician so when a goblin gives her a flute carved out of bone, she is overjoyed. But the flute's mournful song separates Kaile from her shadow - and without a shadow, she is thought as good as dead, and banished from her family home. Will Kaile and her shadow learn the flute's secrets and change its troublesome tune in time to save each other - and Zombay itself - from harm? Set in the delightful and dangerous world of Goblin Secrets, Ghoulish Song is a gripping adventure laced with humour and mystery.

Industry Reviews

'A vertiginous adventure shot through with humour in this clever tale.' - Wall Street Journal

'Ghoulish Song is William Alexander's second book set in the city of Zombay, and this fantastical port city - noisy and wafting with the smell of fresh bread - has secured its place on my map of fantastical places. Alexander paints a picture so vivid, readers can't help but cheer on his protagonist as she fights for her home.' - Tor.com
