Libby Mortimer believes she is just an ordinary eleven year old girl, until she loses her dad on their family holiday in Scotland and it becomes clear that she is, in fact, quite different... Different from her cousins, Josh and Tom, and from her other school friends, because she is an 'enlightened' soul-a girl who has come close to death and been unafraid. This means that when a ghost called Anne appears before her in the attic of her new home, Libby understands that she has a responsibility to help her own world-Firstworld-connect with the afterlife, so that bereaved souls like her mum can come to terms with their loss. In an adventure that takes her from the clutches of a sinister doctor in a remote cottage in the Lake District to the spine-chilling London mansion of a mysterious celebrity children's author, Libby meets three ghost girls her age and learns that her most important mission as a soul girl is to restore the happiness in her own family. This is an uplifting tale of youthful courage and loyalty set in the world of change from primary to secondary education, and is suitable for all people aged from 11 years onwards who love reading and who aren't afraid of adventure.
