>>Volume 2 and 3 will be published within
6 and 12 months
15-year-old Jojo lives in Heaven’s End, a small Scottish coastal town. Life is less calm
and idyllic than one would think, however – because Jojo has the ability to see (and
talk to) ghosts … both animal and human. And there are quite a few of those living in
and around Heaven’s End – and also in Jojo’s house! There is an
entire crowd of crazy ancestors under her roof who are per-
fectly invisible to other people.
Since nobody must know this, she regularly finds
herself in strange and challenging situations.
This is especially disconcerting in the case
of Zack, the Earl’s son (whose sparkling
eyes unfortunately make Jojo tingling all
over). How long will she be able to keep
her secret? When a fiendish wizard tries
to return from the afterworld, things take

to her friends, both the dead and the
living. But in order to do that, she will
