About this eBook
Deep in the bush, where the trees grow tall, Finn discovers an old deserted shack. Inside is shivery cold, with green fungus on the walls. When a dog growls and a gravelly voice snarls, Finn's hair stands up like bristles on a brush. An old man and his dog are glowing in the darkness.
Jack Henry lived in the shack 100 years ago and was friends with all the wild creatures. When Finn is with the old ghost, he can feel what the birds are singing and what the animals are feeling. But now they are all in danger - someone is going to bulldoze the land and wreck their homes. How can one boy, a ghost and his dog save the bush?
Spook's Shack is another magical adventure-fantasy from the author of Nim's Island.

About the author
Wendy Orr was born in Canada and grew up with various pets, in various places across North America and France. In Australia Wendy has lived on a dairy farm and a sheep farm. Recently she moved to a bush block where she found an old shack with furniture, tea-cups, dressing gowns and hot-water bottles... as if the people living there had just disappeared. She wondered if a ghost might still be there. But while Wendy was writing Spook's Shack she heard a science report that said mobile phones were killing ghosts. Ghost sightings in Britain have shrunk to nothing since mobile phones have become common. Wendy is the author of several award-winning books for young children and teenagers.
