Ghostlight By: Kenneth Oppel

Genre: Realistic Fiction/Supernatural Fantasy
Age Recommendation: Grade 6+

This book is phenomenal!  Kenneth Oppel has combined realistic fiction, ghosts, and historic Toronto in an engaging page-turner.  Gabe's summer job is working on Toronto Island giving ghost tours.  Little does Gabe know that by mentioning the name, Rebecca Strand, in his tours, he is waking a ghost who fell to her death from the top of the lighthouse over 100 years ago.  That was the night that Rebecca learned that her father, the lighthouse keeper, was also a member of the Order.  The Order's task, protect the world from the wakeful and wicked dead.  This is the story of Gabe and his friends working with Rebecca to stop the evil ghost, Viker, from taking over the world.  This is a story of friendship, family, and ghosts!  I highly recommend this book.
