Ella has been moved to the town her mother grew up in and is finding it extremely boring compared to London. That is, until she meets a whole group of new friends including the theatre ghosts! Ella is a great main character and there are some really funny bits to make you laugh out loud. I loved the many ghosts, each with their own quirky characters.
