Official synopsis Publisher
The biggest secret in Earth’s history is that everything is intelligent. Humans, animals, plants… even the deceased. Ancient magic kept the species from talking to one another… until a dog suddenly spoke up and asked his owner to help save the world.
Any other kid would have been thrilled to have a talking greyhound as a pet or to be recruited by a dead girl to stop an abomination from devouring the souls of his city. But thirteen-year-old Piers Davies of Summerday had bullies to avoid, a mother to take care of and a thousand other reasons to stay out of trouble. Nevertheless, the teenager soon found himself neck-deep in fairies, ghosts and bickering animals, most of whom considered him the sole ambassador of a species previously unknown for their intelligence – the humans.
The Ghost and the Greyhound is a harrowing adventure about tragedy, friendship, and coming-of-age in a diverse world. The Summerday Saga starts here!
