About Dial a Ghost

'Get me some ghosts,' said Fulton Snodde-Brittle. 'Frightful and dangerous ghosts!' 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, the Wilkinsons, Addie and Oliver 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
