Book Review, Middle Grade Fiction

The Lonely Lighthouse of Elston Fright by Reece Carter

Readers will be thrilled that Reece Carter has written a second gothically brilliant story about two lovely ghosts, their giant spider and a brave lighthouse keeper. The Lonely Lighthouse of Elston Fright picks up less than a month after Corpse, Girl, Simon & Flip defeated the witches and moved on to a happier life. Just right for fans of Neil Gaimon and Tim Burton, this is the perfect series to read now autumn evenings are drawing in and there’s a chill in the air.

Find out about the first book in the series, A Girl Called Corpse, in my 2022 review below.

Flip Little’s family have always been lighthouse keepers and it’s their job to protect the town from monsters. His best friends haunt a white rock out at sea which seems to be crumbling away. When Simon, the extraordinarily large spider, is abducted by weather ghouls, the trio set off on a high-stakes, magical adventure full of darkness, secrets and tough choices. A completely captivating story, readers will be charmed by the earnest determination of these unlikely heroes.

Thank you to Usborne for a copy of this fantastic book!
