Dylan McFinn is an ordinary twelve-year-old with a keen nose for adventure. He lives deep under the Pacific Ocean with his sea captain father and Lapatian mother (or more commonly known: a mermaid) in the ancient sunken fishing village Lapatia. For Dylan''s birthday, the sea captain arranges for a surprise camping trip back to his home island Maloto.

Most teenagers get something memorable for their thirteenth birthday; Dylan certainly did. The trip quickly unravels and reveals that he is the key to the return of an ancient evil deity and unless he chooses to accept his fate it will not only affect his future, but that of the whole of the human race!

Can Dylan learn how to banish Kadavu, the evil shark deity, from the Pacific islands for good and save Maloto?

All he wants to do now is to go home and see his mum.

''Ada Baker was a psychic. She was the seventh daughter of two parents who were both seventh children. And she had been gifted with some extraordinary powers.''

Ada Baker is a gifted psychic, who shares her home with three very bored ghosts. Spending their days roaming around Ada''s house offers little amusement, and so the three of them convince Ada to help them investigate the mysterious death of local beauty Mary Watts, who is found naked and strangled in her bathtub. This begins a series of exciting adventures for Ada, as she draws on her unique skills to help solve this heinous crime. Along the way, she must convince a sceptical detective of her aptitude for channelling the abilities of the dead, avoid the unwanted attentions of a sinister stalker, and try to enlist the help of a squadron of ghostly spitfire pilots to save her own life. 

Can the dead really bring justice for Mary and help save the living too? Will Ada solve the mystery of her murder? Or will Ada''s curiosity lead to her own demise, causing her to end up as a ghost herself?
