Description

Join in the spooky fun in Dial a Ghost, a laugh-out-loud, gothic adventure with plenty of screwball mishaps and ghastly hauntings, by classic children's author Eva Ibbotson, with delightful black and white illustrations by Becka Moor

Fulton has approached the Dial a Ghost agency with an evil plan. He wants some truly terrifying ghosts to scare his nephew Oliver to death - that way, Fulton will inherit the stately Snodde-Brittle pile instead.

The Shriekers are the most violent and sickening spectres the agency has on their books, but a mix-up results in the kind Wilkinson ghosts - and their adopted ghost-daughter, Addie - being sent in their place.

But when the mix-up is discovered, Oliver and his family must summon all their courage to face the terrifying Shriekers and foil Fulton's dastardly scheme . . .

'You'll love this chain-rattlingly, blood-oozingly hilarious story' - Daily Telegraph

About Eva Ibbotson
Eva Ibbotson was born in Vienna in 1925 and moved to England with her father when the Nazis came into power. Ibbotson wrote more than twenty books for children and young adults, many of which garnered nominations for major awards for children's literature in the UK, including the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize and the Whitbread Prize. Eva's critically acclaimed Journey to the River Sea won the Smarties Gold Medal in 2001. Set in the Amazon, it was written in honour of her deceased husband Alan, a former naturalist. Imaginative and humorous, Eva's books often convey her love of nature, in particular the Austrian countryside, which is evident in works such as The Star Of Kazan and A Song For Summer. Eva passed away at her home in Newcastle on October 20th 2010. Her final book, One Dog and His Boy, was published in May 2011.
