Synopsis

Brought to you by Puffin.

The hilarious tale of a family coming to terms with its ghosts - literally.

Greta Woebegone did not believe in ghosts because she was a sensible young girl and sensible young girls tend not to believe in ghosts. That was until the day she was knocked over by a car and died, when everything changed...

As she recovers, Greta finds she can not only see the spirits that haunt her ancestral home, she can talk to them - from her Grandpa Woebegone and Percy the poo-pushing plague victim, to the sinister poltergeist in the cellar.

Can Greta save the ghosts from being exorcised (a fate worse than undeath)? Can the ghosts help Greta stop her beloved Grandma being put in a home? And can any of them find the courage to face up to the traumas in their pasts that are holding them back from the future?

From the acclaimed author of Charlie Changes Into a Chicken comes a touching and side-splitting new story guaranteed to delight readers of nine and up.

Goodreads review by Anjana on May 23, 2022

This story is short and packed with many hijinks(a word that best fits the situations described here. Our lead protagonist is the odd daughter who does not take after her pretentious parents. Her brother, at the time of the narrative, is too young to fall under any category. Her grandmother is bedri......more

Best book ever......more

Goodreads review by Hwee on April 03, 2022

Sam Copeland strikes again with Greta and the Ghost Hunters, an irreverent tale about a girl who almost dies in an accident and can now see ghosts. This book is narrated by a cynical, mildly depressed German pianist-ghost, who has no patience for young children (he keeps forgetting Greta’s baby broth......more
