'Evil Uncle Silas is dead, but his spirit still haunts Sommerset - even in death he will not let go of his nephew and nieces.
'Milo is troubled by nightmares of the Uncle who tried to steal his body and a dark secret he must hide from his cousins; Adele is enthralled by the journals of Captain Bloom and his adventures in the jungles of Budatta, unaware of how important the Captain will become when tragedy strikes; and snooty Isabella is plotting her way to even greater fame and fortune.
'A sudden disappearance will rock the cousins' world and each Winterbottom will have to battle old ghosts as they fight to save their Aunt Rosemary... And each other.' (From the publisher's website.)
