The Ghostly Ghastlys Book 1: Finding A Home

by Barbara Godwin

Overview

The Ghastly family are ghosts. They live in the castle above the town. Other ghosts live there too, because it is a haunted castle. Mr and Mrs Ghastly are singers and always busy with rehearsals and performances, so the little Ghastlys often do what they like.

What they like doing is to make the visitors scream. The little Ghastlys are very good at playing tricks, and people love to come and be frightened. But the other castle ghosts are jealous that the little Ghastlys are more popular than them.

When the ghost children play tricks on the other ghosts, the Ghastlys family are thrown out of the castle.

Finding a new home isn’t easy. There is something wrong with everywhere they go: too shiny, too narrow, too open, too modern, too many people. At last they find an old museum that hasn’t been open for years. It seems ideal, but could it be that other ghosts are already living there? If so, how will they get on with the mischievous little Ghastlys?

About the Author

I love quirky characters - skeletons, ghosts, machines, inventors, alligators, aliens, insects, pirates - especially when they are mixed up with weird happenings and a tiny bit of magic. When I was little, running round our big back garden on the Isle Of Wight, I wanted to be in Robin Hood's band or go on adventures like Alices's. People in books were funny, scary, sad or warm-hearted, mysterious or magical. They felt real and I made up my own stories before I could write. After that, I wrote them for myself, then for my daughter, and now for my granddaughter - and I still write them for that little girl who had adventures in the big back garden. I've never truly grown up. My stories are being illustrated, and published. So lots more to come. Now I live in Surrey with my daughter, son-in-law and my granddaughter. I used to have a dog called Paddy, a budgie called Ringo, a rabbit called Flipper, a cat called Issy and lots of chickens. We don't have pets at the moment, but we want a dog later on. Lots of animals creep into my stories and they're always fun and magical to have around. Who knows what is really real and what isn't?
