Spook School

For a ghost, there may be nothing worse than failing to be scary. That is the problem facing Spooker, who is preparing for his Practical Haunting exams at the Anne Boleyn Secondary School. The Inspectre-ate is watching, and so is Sir Rupert Grimsdyke, who is far from Spooker's favourite teacher. Things get harder when Spooker is sent for training to a brand-new house in Buttercup Avenue. It is nothing like the gloomy, creaking sort of building where ghosts feel most at home. Spooker has to find a way to frighten some of the least frightenable people imaginable. Along the way he may discover that ghosts do not have to be scary after all.
