& On the misty island of& Merlank, the lingering dead can cause unspeakable harm if they're not safely carried to the& Island& of the Broken Tower, where they can move on. Milo's father always told him that he wasn't suited for dealing with the dead and could never become& the Ferryman--but one day, he's unexpectedly thrust into the role. And his father is& his first passenger . . .

&

Milo's father was killed by the Lord of& Merlank, in pursuit of his dead daughter who he's unwilling to give up. It's a race to the island as Milo must face swarms of sinister moths, strange headless birds, and& dangerous storms& to carry his ghostly passengers across the secret seas.&

Filled with suspense and Hardinge's signature sparkling prose, this new story--accompanied throughout by striking illustrations by award-winning illustrator Emily Gravett--will keep you on the edge of your seat in this remarkable and ultimately heartwarming story of grief, family, kindness, and being true to yourself.
