The Last Resort
The Last Resort
When 12-year-old Lila's estranged Grandpa Clem dies, she has to spend the summer in Ohio while her parents decide what to do with Grandpa Clem's creepy Victorian Inn. Even worse, strange things keep happening. En route to Ohio, the family gets into a scary car accident. No one's hurt, but the remainder of the trip is... odd.
At every rest stop, Lila sees people in weird old-fashioned clothes. People no-one else can see or hear... Lila convinces herself it's just her overactive imagination until the day of the funeral when she spots an old man. She does a double take—it's him, Grandpa Clem. He tells Lila that he didn't die of a heart attack: he was murdered. Possibly by someone who wants to control the inn.
Because it's not a normal bed & breakfast: it's a portal between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. A hotel for ghosts passing onto the afterlife. Ghosts from the story will emerge from the pages of the book, allowing readers to talk to spirits from the past and help solve the mystery!
The Last Resort by Erin Kelly offers a thrilling adventure where the lines between life and death blur, taking readers on a mysterious journey through time and space.
