It claims to hold the secret to communicating with spirits, and leads Victor to an entryway into their hidden realms. With his cousin Elizabeth and dear friend Henry at his side, Kenneth Oppel’s most intriguing hero embarks on a dangerous quest tofind his brother in the great beyond and an adventure that is truly outof this world.
