About the Book

It's time for a Ghostly trip to Singapore with Jet, Gabriel, Louis, and Harriet!

Josephine Eloise Thomas is off to Singapore to visit her best friend Harriet and meet her uncle, aunt and cousins for the first time. With the ghost of Louis XVII and her gorgeous boyfriend, Gabriel, accompanying her, it’s bound to be the trip of a lifetime.

When they encounter not one, but two ghosts, their trip takes an eventful turn. Plus, the criminal mastermind Anastasia is still at large and hellbent on revenge so Josephine must be extra vigilant to protect her family and friends.

Will the threat of danger ruin Josephine’s holiday? Can she and her friends learn more about ghosts from their new ghoulish friends? And will Josephine get a New Year’s Eve kiss from Gabriel?
