The Ghost of Wreckers Cove , a supernatural thriller for all ages, is translated from Spanish. Angelica Del Campo, and Liniers were the creative minds behind this supernatural mystery.
This pair have created a truly exciting adventure that has more character and heart than most comics.
The young, “boyish”, Cristina and Martha are our heroines. Our story begins with the loss of their mother. Their well-meaning but somewhat clueless dad is trying to deal with this by moving them into a small Maine town where they live across from an old lighthouse.
Martha’s excited but Cristina, a city-girl is royally annoyed that there is no Wi-Fi reception!
On the beach soon, they meet a woman with red hair who calls herself Ida.
Martha is shocked to see that Ida doesn’t have any feet. She believes she must be a ghost. The more realistic sister takes some convincing, but they eventually realize that it is the only solution and set out to find the answer to who Ida was, where she went, and why the lighthouse sat for so many years without light.
It’s one of those books that has deceptively simplistic artwork, but is actually very cool. The artist uses storytelling techniques to the fullest to bring out the moods and feelings of the characters. Conflict is a result of realistic relationships within the family and always underlined by a strong love.
The Ghost of Wreckers Cove is reminiscent of an old Disney TV movie from the 70s. It offers thrills and mysteries without any violence. The book is not very short but you can read it quickly because it makes you want to keep reading.
I’m 64 years old!
Imagine that a child of 10 years old is reading it, or even a 5 year-old being read this to her…preferably her older sister
