Sam the Bellman, Banff's Helpful Ghost

By Bungen Lee

Have you ever felt like you were being watched? Like someone-or something-was right there, just beyond the corner of your eye?

Ten-year-old Elara doesn't believe in ghosts. Not until she checks into the historic Banff Springs Hotel and sees a friendly specter in a bellman's uniform waving at her from a mirror.

Sam has been polishing his buttons and waiting for someone to notice him for over sixty years. Now, with Elara's help, he's about to discover that the hotel holds more secrets than either of them imagined-hidden ballrooms that appear only at midnight, a mysterious spirit in the hot springs, and ghosts who've been waiting decades for someone to listen to their stories.

But when a darkness arrives at the hotel, hungry for the magic that lives there, Elara and her new friends must fight to protect the place they've come to call home.

A heartwarming story about friendship, courage, and the magic that appears when you least expect it-if only you have the eyes to see.

For readers who believe that the best adventures happen just beyond what's ordinary.
