    About this ebook

    The little Ghastlys are up to their tricks again. This time they want to save their new home from the Striped-Suit Man. He plans to clear up the skeletons, and pull down the Old Museum where the Ghastly family now live.

    The skeletons don't want to be cleared away, and Mr and Mrs Ghastly don't want to find another home - they had enough trouble before because of the little Ghastlys' tricks. No-one wanted mischievous ghosts living in their houses. The Old Museum is good because there is no-one for the ghost children to annoy.

    To start with, the little Ghastlys' tricks do send the man away, but he threatens to return.

    In the meantime, the little Ghastlys rescue a bat from a tomato box. The bat is a very useful friend, but with the Striped-Suit man coming back with burly men, the Ghastlys discover that they need more than tricks to thwart his plans.

    Book 1 of the Ghostly Ghastly series is "Finding A Home." The family search the town to find a place to live - where the mischievous ghost children won’t annoy anyone.

    Book 3 is called "Alfonso." See what happens when the little Ghastlys play their tricks in the Italian Restaurant next door.

    The series is great for young readers aged 7-9 years and each book is written in short chapters with illustrations. Book 2, Branwing, has been rewritten with numerous colour illustrations throughout.

      The Education of Mrs. R.

      Sep 6, 2022

      An adolescent shriek woke her. Cockerels, she thought, cockerels, with a wry twist to the word. She lay in the dark listening. There was no use in covering her head; the screaming still came through. The soloist was suddenly submerged in the chorus.

      The Library of Gromma

      Jul 10, 2023

      Zac was sweating and panting as he reached the top of the hill. The crooked beams of the library loomed over him. He dropped the buckets of water, swore at the few drops that spilled, and escaped the piercing morning sun in the shade of the library.
