Taken from the 'Little Terrors' collection...
This book is about a young boy called George who lives in a big house called 'Little Frightly Manor' with his mum, Sharren and dad, Darren. He has friends in the house which are ghosts. However, the ghosts are not scary, they are pretty useless at frightening people and do not know how to haunt like normal ghosts. As well as this, the ghosts are not just human ghosts but a mixture of 'once living' things such as a hoover, pirate, hedgehog and a duck. They get a letter sent to them through the post containing a ghost called Belinda who pops out of the envelope. She claims she died because she was murdered and tries to manipulate George's ghost friends in to believing she is nice and is a victim of murder. However, once the ghosts get to know her it turns out she was deceiving them all and was trying to haunt Little Frightly Manor and banish them from the ghostly world by freezing them and destroying them for good. In the end a ghost called Miss Fitt arrives ready to control Belinda who has been causing havoc. Belinda had accused Miss Fitt of being the one who murdered her. George and the ghosts had been tricked and now realise all along it was a lie. Miss Fitt warms the air and helps George's friends and banishes Belinda to the Tower of London where she will forever stay.
This book appears suitable for a confident year 3 reader or more appropriately a year 4 child. There are some pictures in the book and the story is broken up into small chapters. Each page has a small creepy hand illustrated around the page number which adds a nice touch to the theme of the book. The illustrations on the front cover look as though it would appeal to a girl, however, the book would be most suitable for both sexes.
Some words in the book may be a little challenging such as 'hospitality' and 'indignantly' (Page 47), however, with a little guidance from an adult or help from peers the words may be OK.
