Summary: Awesome Read!!!!
Comment: This book was one of Eva Ibboton's top books!!!
The story has a boy, a girl, and of course ghosts. The ghosts are a Viking, a governess with Water Madness, an old man in a wheel chair who was once a vampire, a little girl who is a polterguist, and a hellhound dogg that is the size of four dachsands end to end. The boy, Alex, has lived in the Scottish mansion, Carra, with his ghost "parents" his whole life. When money starts to run low, he decides to sell it. A man from America wants to buy it but on one condition, it has to be ghost free. This shocks the ghost and starts the whole adventure.
It is as exciting as Harry Potter but much less scary in my opinion. When I was younger, I started reading Eva's books and couldn't stop reading it. I had to put down the second Harry Potter by chapter eight because it was too scary. This is the newest book so far by Eva and I have read all her other books. I am her #1 fan!!!!!!! I have even researched her and made sure I didn't miss a book. Other books by her are Dial-a-Ghost, Which Witch, The Secret of Platform 13, Island of the Aunts, and Not Just a Witch. Enjoy!!!

Summary: Good fun for parents too
Comment: Having discovered Ibbotson's imagination and humour in The Secret of Platform 13, our family has listened to or read aloud her other books with equal enjoyment. Car trips are a treat as we all listen to the adventures of plucky kids who form friendly alliances with ghosts, other 'imaginary' creatures, and caring grown-ups as they all combat a couple of villains.
In The Haunting of Hiram, a young boy is separated from the ghosts who raised him. The ghosts have some wild adventures (we know where JK Rowland found some inspiration) and meet an unusual new friend. They are reunited with the boy, and a girl who has become *his* new friend, just in time to help the kids escape some nasty kidnappers. I'd recommend this for ages 8 and up.

Summary: Yet another good book from Eva Ibbotson
Comment: A young scottish boy, the Laird of Carra, Errenrig and Sethsay, named Alex Mcbuff, has to sell his beloved castle to a rich multi-millionare from America. But there is a deal, he will only buy the castle if Alex can assure him that the castle is completely ghost-free. What can Alex do, he knows that there surely are ghosts in his castle, and they are very close to him. How can he send his beloved ghost-friends away? Surely there must be a way out, but if he doesn't shoo (unwillingly) the ghosts away, which he can never think of doing, and if he doesn't sell the castle to the multi-millionare, he and his Aunt will face poverty, and that, he also doesn't want to happen, no matter how much his love was for the ghosts. He had to sell the castle.
This book is exciting and magical in both feelings and the writing, all the way through the book. Eva Ibbotson entertains us, putting magic into each page. A fab story, for the whole family.
