The Search for the Syrian Prince

The Search for the Syrian Prince. Tom and Lily live in the town but they visit their grandmother in her cottage on the banks of the river whenever they can. One night, Tom is visited by a ghost-boy who brings a cold wind and the smell of the sea into Tom's bedroom. The ghost-boy has a request - he wants them to rebuild his lost sailing dinghy, the Syrian Prince, before it is too late. What is the family secret that means the Syrian Prince has been lost? What is the urgency to save it now and why is dad so determined to move away to London and forget all about the river they have loved for so long? A charming family story for children 8-12 and grown-up children, too.
