<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of "Which Witch?" returns with a nefarious, hilarious story of ghosts in peril--especially Humphrey the Horrible, a small, mostly unsuccessful ghost in a family of ghastly ghouls. Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The ghosts of Britain need a sanctuary. Castles with central heating, bogs drained for motorways, dismal forests cleared for car parks-there are few places left for a respectable ghost to haunt. Humphrey the Horrible (actually his name is simply Humphrey-he added the Horrible to help himself become horrible) is a small, mostly unsuccessful ghost in a family of ghastly ghouls. His mother worries. But Humphrey has enough pluck to befriend a smart, politically aware schoolboy, Rick Henderson, who is willing to take the ghosts' cause right to the top, to number 10 Downing Street-home of the Prime Minister.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Eva Ibbotson is inventive and witty and writes with great fluency and charm.
