Book ID/图书代码： 10880011B45534
English Summary/英文概要： Bel has just moved to a rundown seaside town, where she is lonely and miserable – until she meets Luka, a mysterious homeless boy of Croatian origin who is living in the disused fairground due to be demolished to make way for a new marina.
Luka’s mother Eva is missing and he suspects foul play. Bel agrees to help him find out what has happened, and she starts to have strong feelings for him – though he remains somehow distant. After a chain of disturbing events, it is dramatically revealed that Luka is a ghost. He was killed along with Eva, who had made enemies when she uncovered a people trafficking racket at the marina building site.
Bel finds that her feelings for Luka are reciprocated, although they both know their love is doomed. Together they find out the full truth about Eva’s death, and Luka’s spirit can be released. He rejoins his mother in a moving scene at the fairground in which Bel realises painfully that she has to let him go.
