The Wilkinson family became ghosts when a bomb dropped on their house in 1943–and they badly want a new home. But there is a horrible mix-up at the agency that specialises in matching ghosts to suitable homes. They are sent to Fulton Hall, where the ghastly Fulton and Frieda Snodde-Britte need a ghost that will frighten their nephew Oliver to death...
A crazy, hilarious adventure filled with eccentric spirits and even more bizarre human characters.
Eva Ibbotson writes for both adults and children. Her books for children, with their fantastic creatures, outrageous characters, dark humour and brilliant storytelling, have much in common with Roald Dahl's. "The Secret of Platform 13" was shortlisted for the Smarties Prize and "Which Witch" was runner-up for the Carnegie Prize. She lives in Newcastle.
