Synopsis
Sailing out of the icy Arctic into the balmy South Pacific, Alfred and his dog and seagull crew encounter fishermen on a shrimp trawler who will kill anything in their way -- turtles, dolphins, sharks, even people -- in their desperation to make fast money. It is a narrow escape for the submariners. They also discover that the vast Pacific Ocean contains sunken warships, aeroplanes, radioactive debris and millions of tons of plastic garbage, all of which appear to confirm a dire prediction given to Alfred by an Inuit elder: "The sea is dying". Yet Alfred is encouraged when he meets the crew of an environmental protection ship, and then, a floating circus. He learns that the Pacific is a weird and wondrous place. But there is a war being waged between those who want to protect the oceans and those who don't care. He must take a stand.

Review
“Like a great adventure, Ghosts of the Pacific does not allow the reader the opportunity to be distracted or bored....The plot is relentless, always enriched with unexpected subplots, steeped in a multifaceted landscape of cold and warmth, hardness and softness.” — CanLit for Little Canadians
About the Author
Whenever possible, Philip Roy travels to the places he writes about. From 1999 to 2001, he lived on the island of Saipan, which features in Ghosts of the Pacific. Last year he travelled to India for book five in the series, coming next year. This spring he will visit Vietnam and China. Philip contends that travelling makes for great adventure. The only thing better is writing about it and visiting schools to share his stories with young readers. Philip Roy lives in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
