Shortish, funny and a bit spooky - or witchy!

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?
Spooker and friends are back for more ghostly goings-on. And with the wicked Sir Rupert out of the picture, Spooker hopes life will be much easier. But when he is sent to a remote Scottish castle to make a video about the school's new approach to haunting, strange and scary things start to happen. Soon, even the ghosts start to get spooked!
Our hero is Jess, the long-suffering apprentice to the demanding and rather self-centred witches, Agnes Moonthistle and Sybil Higginbotham. The top lifestyle TV show, Changing Brooms, offers all three the chance to get what they really want in the world — using a little magic to help things along — with hilarious and unexpected results!
If you like witches and think interior design is really magic, this is definitely the book for you.
