What could be worse for a ghost than not being frightening enough?

That''s Spooker''s problem as he faces his Practical Haunting examinations at the Anne Boleyn Secondary School, under the watchful eye of the Inspectre-ate and Sir Rupert Grimsdyke (who''s definitely not Spooker''s favourite teacher).

He isn''t helped by the fact that he''s sent for training to a brand-new house in Buttercup Avenue - not at all the kind of dingy, creaky building in which ghosts feel most comfortable.

Spooker must find a way to spook the most unspookable people imaginable . . . Or maybe ghosts don''t have to be scary, after all?
