The Ghosts of Nameless Island: The Boy Who Could Fly: Vol. 2 Volume 2

Gus Greenburg can see ghosts. In this spine-tingling sequel to The Ghosts of Nameless Island, bestselling author Carly Anne West takes readers on a pulse-pounding, blood-curdling journey to a circus from the past and unravel the mystery of a malevolent spirit that’s fighting to survive.

Picking right up from the spine-tingling cliffhanger of The Ghosts of Nameless Island: Vol. 1, Gus finds himself on the brink of peril, with the Broken Boy’s icy grip tightening around his throat. But just when hope seems lost, his black cat, Cat (named after Catherine the Great, of course) intervenes, breaking the lethal hold and saving Gus from certain doom. Unfortunately, the Broken Boy still has Gus’s lucky penny that protects him from hauntings, and his sole connection to his missing father.

Just as the new school year begins, Gus and his friends, Miles and Tavi, must unravel the new clues that have emerged about the Broken Boy. But with Gus’s penny lost, he isn’t safe from ghosts, and the stakes have never been higher--especially when they discover a new ghost living at Gus’s home of Rotham Manor. And this one was . . . part of a circus?!

Will Gus and his friends uncover the real identity of the ghosts before they strike again? Or will the ghost’s sinister plan succeed?

Only one way to find out. . . .

The Ghosts of Nameless Island: The Boy Who Could Fly is the second book in a new trilogy from bestselling author Carly Anne West. It’s infused with Carly Anne West’s signature wit and humor, and spooky enough for fans of Claribel Ortega’s Ghost Squad, Scott Cawthon’s Five Night’s at Freddy’s, and Carly’s own Hello Neighbor series. This book also features black-and-white spot illustrations throughout.

＂Along with this classically atmospheric setting and scary thumps and other noises aplenty, West treats readers to multiple specters that are even more rousingly hideous in her descriptions than in Skaffa’s spiky, stylishly grotesque monochrome scenes and spot art . . . Hints of dark doings in the island’s past also emerge before this trilogy opener ends with a sudden and terrifying cliffhanger . . . All the shivery feels, escalating to the nightmarish in spots.＂ - Kirkus, for The Ghosts of Nameless Island

Teo Skaffa currently lives in Istanbul but is from a village in the Netherlands which you’ve probably never heard of, and for good reason. He loves music, video games, cinema, and swimming. He hates drawing in accurate perspective and room temperature watermelon (cold is fine though, delicious even). Coming from a traditional background, he now focuses on digital illustration and storytelling. Most of his inspiration comes from that short moment when you wake up and don’t quite understand what is happening yet, where he sees brief flashes of images and ideas which he turns into colorful illustrations.
