Publisher's summary

If my hair looks like bright green seaweed, it's because that's exactly what it is. My eyes, a pair of abalone shells, polished blue by sand. Teeth, two rows of pebbles. And my skin is made of wax.

Corpse never asked to be a kid ghost. She doesn't remember anything from her life – all she knows is her home on the rock-that-doesn't-exist, her friend Simon the spider and the vile Witches whose magic she steals.

So, when she discovers that there's a powerful treasure which could give her all the answers to what she's lost – her memories, her family, her name – Corpse sets off to find it. On her journey across the stormy sea, she must battle magic, sea monsters and a cruel figure from her past. But the Witches want the treasure too. And they'll do anything to get it first.

'Wonderfully imaginative and enthralling.' (Jaclyn Moriarty, author of the Kingdoms and Empires series)
'Fizzes and crackles with magic, mystery and exactly the correct amount of huntsman spiders.' (Karen Foxlee, author of Lenny's Book of Everything)
