Description

In Ghoulish Song, a brave girl named Kaile lives in Zombay, a city filled with goblins and witches. She dreams of becoming a musician and is thrilled when she receives a flute carved from bone by a goblin. However, the flute's mournful song separates Kaile from her shadow, causing her family to force her out of their home. As Kaile and her shadow navigate the dangerous city, they learn the flute is linked to a ghoul made from the bones of drowned individuals. With the ghoul in pursuit and the river threatening to flood, Kaile must learn the right tune to save Zombay. This adventure, set in the world of Goblin Secrets, combines humor and mystery in a gripping tale by National Book Award-winning author William Alexander.
