About this title

Review:

"Funny, smart, and gorgeously written."--Jane Yolen, author of The Devil's Arithmetic

"In Ghoulish Song, William Alexander returns us to the fascinatingly sinister world of Zombay. As with his previous novel, Goblin Secrets, Alexander's work is startlingly original, simultaneously funny and suspenseful."--Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn

"Alexander's storytelling is compelling and clever, and this tale of courage is by turns humorous, poignant and convincing."--Kirkus Reviews

"[Alexander's] graceful prose weaves an engaging fantasy that embraces the power of music."--Publisher's Weekly

"With wonderful economy, Mr. Alexander conjures a vertiginous adventure shot through with humor in this clever tale."--Wall Street Journal

"Gorgeously creepy"--Minnesota Post

"Kaile makes a likable heroine, at times admirably noble and at other times understandably frustrated and defiant. Her adventures are just scary enough to keep readers on edge without giving anyone nightmares."--BCCB

Book Description:

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

'Subtle, tricky, funny, beautiful. More, please, William Alexander!' Ursula K. Le Guin
