The Beasts of Clawstone Castle

The Beasts of Clawstone Castle is a fantastically spooky adventure by classic author Eva Ibbotson, with a brand new cover and delightfully quirky inside illustrations by Becka Moor

'We need proper ghosts,' said Ned, 'really scary ones with heads that come off and daggers in their chests!'

When Madlyn and her younger brother Rollo arrive at crumbling Clawstone Castle, they can see that emergency action is needed. If they don't hatch a plan to save it, the estate will be snapped up by scheming businessman, Lord Trembellow, who wants to get rid of the wild white cattle and cover the park with concrete.

With the help of a team of homeless, scary ghosts – including a one-eyed skeleton and Brenda the Bloodstained Bride – they hatch a spooky plan to get the money rolling in. But with a sinister scientist on the loose, money might not be enough to save the mysterious beasts of Clawstone Castle . . .
