Jack and the Ghost

English

By (author): Chan Poling

Illustrated by: Lucy Michell

A gothic, lyrical evocation of a shipwreck, ghosts, and lostand foundlove in a North Shore town 

 
Jack Cooper, last in a long family line of fishermen, lives alone in the remote North Shore town of Greyshore, haunted by grief. But he will discover what it means to be truly haunted when a ghostly woman appears to lure him to lands end, to the beckoning waves that have broken his heart. In a tale weird and whimsical, as familiar as folklore and as strange as life itself, musical artists Chan Poling and Lucy Michell create a world where even the most hardened soul has to see that grief may be tough, but life is tougher. 

As Jacks childhood friend, the loyal and endlessly optimistic Red, tries to counter the ghosts allure, the story exerts its own charm, guiding us through a landscape of prose and pictures at once irreverent and dead serious. Though the books surreal seduction might call to mind the likes of Wes Anderson, Edward Gorey, or the Decemberists, it is, finally, Poling and Michells singular accomplishment, an enchanting imaginative leap into lifes haunted depths.
