From a consummate storyteller comes this deliciously spooky junior novel about a family with a haunted house, and a ghost with a problem that needs solving...; Allie thought sharing a room with her brother was bad...but sharing with a ghost was even worse! We moved into our new house because my brother and I wanted rooms of our own. So what happened? Bethan's room turned out to be haunted, and we ended up having to share again! Ray tried painting over the ghostly writing on the walls, but it kept coming back. Mum tried a few new-age tricks, but couldn't stop the creepy nightmares. We even called in paranormal investigators, but they were totally stumped. That's when I decided to take matters into my own hands...

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A successful blend of mystery, ghostbusting and sleuthing ... full of humorous touches ... Jinks's story-within-a-story device works well; her characterisation of family and school life is realistic and the tale itself is spooky without being gratuitously frightening." -- Thuy On, Children's Bookseller & Publisher, October 2002."Eglantineworks well on many levels; it is spooky, it is intelligent and it has an involving story-line. The jacket and layout is enticing. Recommended." -- Rayma Turton, Magpies, November 2002a first-class ghost story' Reading Time
