1 post | 9 read | 1 to read
'Get me some ghosts,' said Fulton Snodde-Brittle. 'Frightful and dangerous ghosts!' Fulton has gone to the Dial a Ghost agency with an evil plan. He wants to hire some truly terrifying ghosts to scare his nephew Oliver to death. The Shriekers are the most violent and sickening spectres the agency has, but a mix-up means the kind Wilkinson ghosts are sent in their place. Now Oliver has some spooky allies to help him outwit the wicked Snodde-Brittles . . . With beautiful cover illustration by Alex T. Smith, creator of the Claude series, Dial a Ghost is a wonderfully spooky young-fiction title from the award-winning author of Journey to the River Sea, Eva Ibbotson. 'You'll love this chain-rattling, blood-oozingly hilarious story' Daily Telegraph

It was well-written with interesting twists, but the subject matter was a bit gruesome for me. Especially when it‘s meant for young people. I was surprised to find Adopta/Addie was the Shriekers‘ daughter. I was relieved that they didn‘t directly kill her. Cute that Oliver had Resthaven, the Wilkinsons‘ old home, built for them on his grounds. It did end nicely.
