Reece Carter

The House with Chicken Legs meets The Graveyard Book, The Girl, the Ghost and the Lost Name fizzes with secret magic and ghostly goings-on, from an astonishing new voice in children's fiction.

With a body made of wax, seaweed for hair, and polished abalone shells for eyes, Corpse is bound to haunt the Witches' sea shack forever. She has no memory of who she was before the Witches took her to the rock-that-doesn't-exist, or even what her name was.

That is, until a ghost called Old Man gives her a message before he departs to Death Proper: a treasure exists that can reunite Corpse with her family and her name.

Corpse sets off in search of answers, bringing her trusted friend Simon, a huntsman spider, along for the ride. She must battle magic, zombie-skeletons and sea monsters to find the treasure before the Witches. But is the treasure really all that it seems?
