Series: An Elston-Fright Tale

Being a lightkeeper is very serious business.

Nobody in Elston-Fright believes in magic anymore. Well, nobody except for Flip Little, his nan and his friends: a girl called Corpse, a ghost called Girl and a very large spider, called Simon.

But when Simon is spider-napped by ancient weather ghouls called the Poltergusts, Flip and his ghostly companions turn to the last lightkeeper's journals for answers. To rescue their friend, they will need to find and return the missing light to the lighthouse, restoring its lost magic.

Only nothing in Elston-Fright is as it seems. Questions bubble up from the deep. Dark secrets come to light. And pretty soon, Flip and his friends learn that in order to save the future of Elston-Fright, they'll first need to understand its past.

Reece Carter is the bestselling author of A Girl Called Corpse. His new novel for children, The Lonely Lighthouse of Elston-Fright, is out now. His love for stories – especially those filled with whimsy, magic, and a little bit of weirdness – began as a child growing up in rural Western Australia. There was an unfortunate lack of witches and ghosts on his family farm, and so Reece had to find them in books instead. It wasn’t until high school though that Reece thought to try his hand at writing his own stories. He loved it, and never looked back. Reece now lives in Sydney. When not reading or writing, he can usually be found talking to his dog, Hagrid, and hoping that one of these days Hagrid might decide to talk back. Gabriella is a pint-sized Melbourne based singer, actor, musician and vocal teacher who holds a double degree in Music and Performing Arts and has received further training at 16th Street, TAFTA & Melbourne Actors’ Lab. Gabriella made her start in the performing industry at age 12 as a featured face in the iconic ‘I Still Call Australia Home’ Qantas ad. Her most recent screen credits include DJ Bianca in the Head & Shoulders commercial campaign and Girl in Quick Bite for Sunshine Short Film Comedy festival.
