    About this ebook

    The Ghastly family are ghosts. They live in the castle above the town. Other ghosts live there too, because it is a haunted castle. Mr and Mrs Ghastly are singers and always busy with rehearsals and performances, so the little Ghastlys often do what they like.

    What they like doing is to make the visitors scream. The little Ghastlys are very good at playing tricks, and people love to come and be frightened. But the other castle ghosts are jealous that the little Ghastlys are more popular than them.

    When the ghost children play tricks on the other ghosts, the Ghastlys family are thrown out of the castle.

    Finding a new home isn’t easy. There is something wrong with everywhere they go: too shiny, too narrow, too open, too modern, too many people. At last they find an old museum that hasn’t been open for years. It seems ideal, but could it be that other ghosts are already living there? If so, how will they get on with the mischievous little Ghastlys?

      Smile through THE SADNESS

      Nov 26, 2020

      Driving past an old pub in a Gloucestershire village, Dad caught my eye in the rear-view mirror. ‘That’s a haunted pub, there, Becki,’ he told me. ‘Cavaliers haunt this place. It was a royalist stronghold in the civil war…’ As he talked, I listened,
