Description
Ruth's summer plans have changed. Instead of traveling with her dad, she's heading to Newfoundland to stay with family she's never met. Life in Buckle is different from Toronto - everyone knows each other, and some believe in ghosts and The Sight. When Ruth arrives, she meets her cousin Ruby, who shares many similarities with her, including a loss at two years old. As they explore their new surroundings, Ruth and Ruby discover ominous information on local tombstones. They start investigating their family's past, uncovering a mysterious connection to twin girls born every generation. One set of twins always dies young, leaving their children without mothers. The ghostly presence that haunts Ruth at night may be linked to this dark history. The answers lie along the Ghost Road, a path that leads to the lost settlement of Slippers Cove. Can Ruth and Ruby uncover the truth behind their family's secrets and the ghostly presence haunting them?
