The Ghost of Prosper Island

Caspar and his mother Agrippa have lived alone since Caspar was a baby. They have both become experts at survival in the years of isolation in their treehouse home on Prosper Island, off the coast of Maine. Every day is simple and the same, which is the best Caspar can hope for. As a mutant who glows in the dark, he knows the island–impossible to reach except by experienced seamen–is the only place he can live in peace. But when a strange ship capsizes off the coast, Caspar can’t help his curiosity about the castaways and their shockingly poor survival skills. He has to get a closer look, even if it means putting himself in the middle of something rotten.
