The Ghostly Ghastlys Book 3: Alfonso

by Barbara Godwin

Overview

The Ghastlys are a family of ghosts. Mr and Mrs Ghastly are opera singers, but the little Ghastlys can’t stand opera. To them it is like wailing and cats do that better.

Having successfully got out of going to their parents night-time concerts, the little Ghastlys have absolutely nothing to do in the evenings. They decide to visit Alfonso’s Italian Restaurant. It is next door and is bright and colourful with lively music and happy customers.

And it’s great fun to leap out of pizzas and shower the customers with flour, scaring them so much that they run off without paying their bills.

The customers don’t come back and the restaurant becomes a dark and dismal sort of place. Alfonso is in despair because no-one comes to dinner any more.

Can the little Ghastlys find a way to put things right?

This is Book 3 in the Ghostly Ghastly series.

In Book 1 Finding A Home, the Ghastly family are thrown out of the castle where they lived before because of the tricks the little Ghastlys play.

In Book 2 Branwing, the Old Museum where the Ghastlys are now living is under threat of being pulled down by the Striped-Suit man.

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, her partner and my granddaughter, and our dog called Trixie. When I was little I used to have a dog called Paddy, a budgie called Ringo, a rabbit called Flipper, a cat called Issy and lots of chickens. Lots of animals creep into my stories and they're always fun and magical to have around.
