Ghosts of Weirdwood

Description

In this second action-packed and hilarious Weirdwood adventure by William Shivering and Newbery Honor winner Christian McKay Heidicker, two thieves and their ghost friend wage a battle against a shadowy magical organization intent on opening a Rift between the worlds of the living and the dead. Fresh off of heroically saving their city from nightmarish monsters, 12-year-old reformed thieves Arthur and Wally are determined to join the Wardens of Weirdwood, defenders of the border between the Real and Imaginary worlds. They defeat the Order of Eldar, a group exploiting creatures of the Fae for gain, when the Order opens a Rift for ghostly profit. As spirits cross into Kingsport, Arthur, Wally, and their ghost companion, Breeth, must return the souls to the other side of the Veil.
