Frightfully Friendly Ghosties

Tabitha Tumbly, Charlie Vapour, Rusty Chains and friends can't understand why the still-alives in their house are so mean.

When Pamela Fraidy gets locked in the attic by a still-alive, the ghosties are determined to make the still-alives like them.

But the more friendly they are - hiding under beds and rushing out to read them a bed-time story, rushing down the chimney to say hello, the meaner the still-alives become; they even go so far as to run out of rooms shrieking!

When the family start putting nasty garlic around the house and then call in a priest, the ghostie gloves are off : Tabitha and Charlie decide to call in The Ghoul to sort out the still-alives once and for all. But could the terrifying ghoul prove much more than even the ghosties bargained for?

The cast of classic characters, brilliant one-liners and a clever plot will delight children and their parents.
