Dan and the Caverns of Bone

Page 9

by Thomas Taylor

Till we meet again.

  And whether that’s a message to me or to this place or to Death himself, I guess I’ll never know.

  But hey, that’s my life all over.

  And I never let it get me down.

  What’s that? You want to know what Lavache said as he was arrested? You want it translated?

  ‘It’s only fair to your readers, Daniel. We don’t all have the chance to borrow languages from ghosts.’

  You understand it, though, don’t you, Si?

  ‘Naturally. He believed he “would have got away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you… er… interfering children”.’

  Close enough, Si. That’s close enough.

  Dan’s first adventure is also available from Bloomsbury.

  When Dan’s spectral sidekick Simon brings him the spirit of a teenage shoplifter, things get seriously out of control. Now Dan’s on the hit list of a very dangerous and very badly dressed gangster – not to mention being stalked by a crazed Victorian magician who cut off his own head. (Don’t ask.)
