Demelza loves science, but she's also inherited a distinctly un-scientific set of skills: Spectre Detecting - summoning the ghosts of the dead. When Grandma is kidnapped by mysterious villain, she knows Spectre Detecting has something to do with it. Can Demelza solve the deadly mystery?
Demelza loves science - she loves it so much that she's been known to stay up late to work on her peculiar inventions. But Demelza discovers she has inherited a distinctly un-scientific skill: Spectre Detecting. Like her grandmother, she can summon the ghosts of the dead. But when Grandma is kidnapped by a mysterious villain, she knows Spectre Detecting has something to do with it. Only Demelza and her pasty best friend, Percy, can solve the deadly mystery ... The first book in this warm and eccentric middle-grade mystery series by debut author Holly Rivers. Contemporary with a fantasy twist, this is thoroughly modern, charming and full of action - themes of death and the afterlife are handled with a light touch. Lockwood & Co meets Skulduggery Pleasant with a fresh, funny twist. As a child, Holly was a lead actress in ITV's original Worst Witch series!
