| Publisher Description: Was that a g-g-ghost? No way Alex didn't believe in such things But when a ghost scares Alex half to death on the beach at Treasure Island, San Luis Pass, in Texas, he begins to change his mind. Why does the ghost keep wailing 'Malhado'? Why does he carry that revolting cow skull? And why does he whisper about buried treasure? Only Juliann believes Alex's ghostly tale of a Spanish Conquistador. As Alex and his friend discover the exciting history of Treasure Island, they learn that there just might be treasure to be found. |
Contributor Bio(s): Ralles, H. J.: - "Ralles was born in the United Kingdom and moved to the USA in 1990and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. She always loved to write and wrote her first book at 10 years old and her first story was published in a New England camping magazine when she was 13 years old. Her other passion is teaching. She has a Bachelor of Education and taught Grades 4 - 6 for 13 years. In 1997 her eldest son challenged her to write a book that he would enjoy as much as his computer games. After Keeper of the Kingdom was published in 2001 she went back to the classroom as a visiting author, teaching writing workshops. She now has eight published YA science fiction novels and two exciting ghost stories. In 2008 my husband and I moved from North Texas to Houston. We have an adorable 2 yr old black Labrador/Retriever cross called Solo who is a bundle of fun." |
