The thing about magic is that it likes to stay hidden...

Flip Little's family have always been Lightkeepers, guardians sworn to protect the town of Elston-Fright from magical, monstrous threats. And Flip is no stranger to magic; only he knows about the two enchanted ghost girls living hidden in the sea caves beneath them.

When their spider friend, Simon, is kidnapped by Poltergusts, trickster ghouls out to cause mayhem, Flip, Girl and Corpse must find the Torch, a weapon that the Littles once made to protect Elston-Fright. There's only one problem: the Torch has been lost, and its magical Light went out years ago. Hounded by vengeful seafoam sprites, the weather ghouls and their past, the trio must find a way to beat the Poltergusts... before they tear Elston-Fright apart.
