NEW CHILDREN’S<br />
Chasing the<br />
Phantom Ship<br />
Deborah Toogood<br />
Middle-grade adventure novel featuring the<br />
Phantom Ship of Northumberland Strait<br />
Matt Simmons has two weeks left of summer before starting<br />
grade six. He wants to enjoy that time with his best friends,<br />
Danny and Emma, but has to include his younger cousin Adam<br />
who is visiting. Trapped on a sandbar in the middle of the<br />
night, Matt and Adam see a ghostly, burning schooner before<br />
a silent old man rescues them. Matt is determined to unravel<br />
the mystery and reluctantly lets Adam join in. With Danny and<br />
Emma, they visit Danny’s grandpa, a retired sea captain. He<br />
warns them to leave the ghosts and mysteries of the sea alone,<br />
but the four friends ignore him. Setting out on a midnight boat<br />
trip to find the phantom ship, even little Adam proves a useful<br />
part of the team. But how dangerous is the ship, and who else<br />
is lurking in the waters of the Northumberland Strait?<br />
Deborah Toogood recently retired as an English-language<br />
teacher. Growing up in New Brunswick, she spent her<br />
summers on the beach with her brothers. In later years, she<br />
enjoyed summers on the Northumberland shore of Nova<br />
Scotia with her two children. Chasing the Phantom Ship is her<br />
first novel. She lives in Halifax.<br />
