About this title

Synopsis:

A twisty middle grade adventure standalone for fans of Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow about a cursed boy who embarks on a journey into a magical city of ghosts to find out who he really is.

Oscar Grimstone is a normal kid--aside from his secret Curse. Whenever he touches something living, like a flower or his classroom goldfish, they always seem to die. But then Oscar discovers an even bigger secret: even though he is very much alive, he has the ability to transform into a ghost.

Just when he thinks things can't get any stranger two ghosts show up at his home in a skeleton carriage and he winds up joining them on a journey beyond the real world to a place he never knew existed--the city of ghosts. There Oscar will discover a place where people go once they die, before they aboard a ship to the The Other Side. But will he find out who he really is?

Review:

"With genuinely despicable bad guys and the sort of good guys who are undeniably fun to root for, Prentice's first foray into middle-grade fiction is hauntingly entertaining."-Bulletin, starred review

"A rollicking adventure with imaginative world building.... will evoke laughter and tug heartstrings."--Booklist

"A comforting choice for readers nervously anticipating their own first day of school or who are worried about making new friends." --School Library Journal
