The Silver Boy

Summary

They thought ghosts didn't exist . . .

But when Aladdin’s parents discover food is being stolen from their restaurant, he and his friends decide to investigate.

Soon, Aladdin notices a strange boy – dressed in short trousers, despite the freezing cold. But as hard as he tries to catch him, the boy always disappears – leaving no tracks in the fresh snow. Before long, Aladdin and his friends are pulled into a web of secrets and history, treasure and crime.

Can they uncover the mystery of the curious Silver Boy?
