What could be worse for a ghost than not being frightening enough? That’s
Spooker’s problem as he faces his Practical Haunting examinations at the Anne
Boleyn Secondary School, under the watchful eye of the Inspectre-ate and Sir
Rupert Grimsdyke (who’s definitely not Spooker’s favourite teacher). He isn’t
helped by the fact that he’s sent for training to a brand-new house in
Buttercup Avenue – not at all the kind of dingy, creaky building in which
ghosts feel most comfortable. Spooker must find a way to spook the most
unspookable people imaginable …Or maybe ghosts don’t have to be scary, after
all?
