Obsessed with martial arts and ghost stories, Ruby is part of a gang of Chinese and ex-pat children who hide out in ruined White Cloud Temple. But the world of Shanghai in the late 1920s is driven with danger: disease, crime, espionage and revolution are sweeping the streets. And since the death of her younger brother Thomas, Ruby is stalked by another anxiety and fear. Faced with a series of local hauntings, and armed with a lucky bookshop find - The Almanac of Distant Realms - Ruby forms the Shanghai Ghost Club to hunt down restless spirits.  When best friend Faye is kidnapped by the Green Hand, Ruby must trust a mysterious stranger - and face her worst fears - in order to save her friends, and her own life.  And in the ensuing fight she will catch a glimpse of the one spirit she has longed to see ...   The secrets that Ruby's father and friends have kept from her are coming back to haunt them all.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45244722348215,"sku":"9781444923902","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781444923902.jpg?v=1757055938","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781444923902","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
