Creaking floorboards, spooky spectres, things that go bump in the night. Are you brave enough to go on a ghost hunt...? Olly Spellmaker wears leathers, cooks up spells, rides a motorbike...and is old enough to be Alex's granny. Much as he likes her, she can be so irritating. Right now, for example, she needs Alex's help and she won't take no for an answer. She needs to find some ghosts to haunt a disturbingly unscary house and Alex is boy who can 'twingle' - or sense spectres. The problem is, he doesn't know what sort until they've materialised. And a soggy White Lady, a complaining Green Lady and a grungy, grey blob who does nothing but hang there aren't quite what Olly had in mind...

From AudioFile
Olly has been hired by a failing hotel to find a ghost--which the management plans to use to improve business by offering "haunted" stays. Olly needs young Alex's help to attract a selection of ghosts. Glen McCready's charming narration includes every kind of ghost (and ghost joke) you can think of. He handles each character admirably, with Olly being the best. She's a super saleswoman of ghosts with a terrific voice. The cute and funny ending is perfect for young listeners.

More About the Author
On the day I was born, my Dad was given a typewriter. My Dad also signed my first contract, because I was too young to sign it - I was 16.
It was Dad who gave me the First and Second Jungle Books and the Just-So Stories for my seventh Christmas present too - and I still love them. But it was my mother who did all she could to teach me to read and to love books.
I've written 55 books, from Nursery Stories to things like 'The Bearwood Witch' and 'The Sterkarm Handshake' which are criticised for being 'too adult'.
Recently, I've joined the kindle revolution. I plan to publish most of my backlist on kindle, and I have joined together with several other writers to form Kindle Authors UK - see the blog feeds below. Look me up in the Kindle Store!
I also give talks in schools, and am RLF Fellow at De Montfort University in Leicester.
