A click and a push, and the door swung open. She stepped inside. Mark called from the distance. The closing door cut off his voice.
Camrose stood perfectly still. She didn’t know what she’d expected. Something more sinister than this, for sure. A wide hallway stretched away from her with closed doors on both sides. The light was the blue of early dusk. To one side she caught a sudden movement and whipped around. Her own white-faced reflection stared back at her from a mirror that hung beside the door.
I’m really here, she thought. I’m inside the ghost house.
She walked on, silent, breathing shallowly. Suppose someone living in the house were to hear her, and come out, and say…
Someone living?
Camrose Ferguson is a perfectly normal 12-year-old living an ordinary life in a small Ontario town. Extraordinarily, she has inherited responsibility for an ancient bone flute, an object of quest for two time-wandering rivals. With the help of her level-headed friend Mark and the not-quite-human Miranda, Camrose puzzles out the flute’s hiding place and restores it to its rightful—and unexpected—owner. The Bone Flute is about the very thin wall that separates our everyday world from an equally real world of wonders and terrors. Above all, it’s an adventure, meant to be read for the pleasure of the story alone.
