Ghost Hunters and the Mud Dripping Monster!
The Chicken House (165 pages) 9781905294350
Four 'Ghost Hunter' books were published together so there are more to find if this one is enjoyed. The three hunters are Hetty Hysop, Tom and Hugo, who is himself an Averagely Spooky Ghost. This adventure has loads of scares; some can be seen to be building up inescapably and others leap out with startling suddenness. Tom is sent to Bogpool as part of his practical exam, but the place begins to sink, the ooze reveals nasty things, and the enemy, Professor Lotan Slimebot, has to be defeated. There are pages of 'information' at the end with handy hints on encounters with types of ghosts and a list of acronyms like TIBIG, 'a tiny biting ghost'! Splendid stuff and spot on for many young readers.
