Island of Whispers
Frances Hardinge
Milo’s father carries dead people’s ghosts to the Island of the Broken Tower, a place of rest that requires their shoes to accompany them. He refuses when a local Lord wants his dead daughter Gabrielle returned for magicians to revive. The Lord’s men kill the Ferryman and imprison Milo’s older brother. Inexperienced Milo must bring Gabrielle and four other ghosts to the island while the Lord’s men and magic-wielding pursuers chase his boat.
