Murray and Bun live with a terrible wizard. He's not a horrible person, just really really rubbish at spells and stuff. One good thing from his mistakes is Murray's best friend, Bun. Despite the fact that he was about to eat a lovely sticky bun, a wayward spell hit it, turning it in to... Bun, Murray's best buddy and a very bouncy and sticky rabbit.
The other spell boo boo that affects Murray's life is the fact that he never knows whether he is going to find his backyard when pushing his cat flap open, or be somewhere or some-when, completely random.
Wishing for sunshine and tulips as he goes outside, Murray finds himself in a big, gloomy, old house. Bun is excited though, because he loves adventure. They soon meet the owners, Lady Daphne and Geoffrey Hogchester. When they give Murray and Bun a large bag, Murray's spirits lift as he loves nothing more than doing housework. Surely it's a bag of cloths and dusters, as the house does look like it needs a jolly good clean.
Alas, the bag is not full of cleaning fluid, but is a custom made Ghost Finding Kit. With his task in hand, Murray and Bun begin to look for a ghost that has escaped a suit of armour. Lady Daphne and Geoffrey need their ghost back, for their visiting tourists.
As always in Murray and Bun's adventures, the job required is far from straight forward. After many misteps and mishaps, the missing ghost is finally found. But catching it is another thing.
Murray and Bun are back! This time they aren't finding Vikings, fighting pirates or meeting princesses, but are tasked with locating and capturing a much required ghost.
The brilliant illustrations tell as much of the story as the text, and there are always surprises to find on the page. Keeping to their task is tricky as their tummies rumble and naps are needed, but Murray is a determined puss, and Bun is a wonderful and positive wee buddy to have along.
I love the way that Bun can only say one word, and Murray knows exactly what he's saying, bringing even more laughs for the reader.
Just as funny as the 1st book in the series, Murray and Bun (4) Murray the Ghost Hunter will appeal to young readers who love a touch of spooky.
