Dial a Ghost

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 . . .
