The House with Chicken Legs meets The Graveyard Book A Girl Called Corpse 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?
