When Gabe accidentally awakens the ghost of Rebecca Strand, murdered by a wicked creature at Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, he and his friends become swept up in a thriller that threatens not only them but the whole of humankind… Gabe tells Rebecca's story every day when he gives the ghost tour on Toronto Island. He tries to make it scary enough to satisfy the tourists, but he doesn’t actually believe in ghosts — until he finds himself face to face with Rebecca Strand. The true story of her death is far more terrifying than any ghost tale Gabe has told.

Kenneth Oppel lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife and three children. He decided he wanted to be a writer at the age of 12 and has since written several children's books, including the prize-winning Silverwing trilogy, Half-Brother, Inkling and The Nest.

The activity pack includes stickers, book club-style questions to ponder and a welcome note from Kenneth Oppel. There’s also a word puzzle to solve and a recipe for spanakopita, alongside jokes and further reading recommendations.

Activity packs are a handy A5 size and printed on uncoated paper which is fully recyclable.
