Synopsis

Spooker is back for a new school year at the Anne Boleyn Secondary School, and now that the wicked Sir Rupert is out of the picture, he hopes his life will be much easier. But when he goes on a residential trip to a remote Scottish castle to make a video about the school's new approach to haunting, strange happenings start to take place - it's almost as if the ghosts themselves are being haunted. And when a group of Americans come to turn the castle into the venue for a celebrity wedding, things start to get very complicated indeed. Who or what can possibly be behind these odd events?

 Book Overview: Imaginative storytelling. Good for boys. Ghost stories are perennially popular, especially funny ones that subvert the genre, like this. Black Cats' profile is increasing. Acclaim for the series: '...the stories have a fresh originality that will make them great favourites' Lindsey Fraser, Guardian Education Book of the Week, 13/05/03. And 'Fast, exciting stories for fluent readers.' Books for Keeps, Jan 04 This is a unique series, aimed at children recently emerging from reading schemes who require continuing support. There is little new material for emerging readers between 8-11.
