The Great Ghost Rescue

A seriously spooky and brilliantly comic story from the outstanding Eva Ibbotson, now with a fantasic new cover-look!

‘Nobody knew what had gone wrong with Humphrey. Perhaps it was his ectoplasm . . .’

Humphrey the Horrible sounds scary, but he’s actually a very friendly skeleton, with twinkling eye sockets and jangling finger bones. Humphrey dreams of being ghastly, like his brother – a screaming skull - or terrifying, like his bloodsucking vampire-bat cousins. But when Humphrey discovers an evil plot to exorcise his family he finally realizes you don’t have to be spine-chillingly fearsome to be a hero.
