Cast out when their spooky castle gets modernized into a holiday camp, Humphrey and his ghost family search for a new home. They meet a friendly schoolboy named Rick who decides they should start a "ghost sanctuary," since human expansion has ruined so many ghoulish spots in England. When the sanctuary turns out to be a trap meant to exorcise all of the ghosts, Rick and Humphrey must save the day.

From the unusual, but very interesting pen of Eva Ibbotson. An interesting tale about a boy who helps ghosts. Also quite a commentary on the need of taking care of peoples and animals rather than making them extinct.

The characters are lovable and the descriptions bring a smile to your face. Once again I leave a book wishing to exist inside Eva Ibbotson's mind. Though a chronic fan of her work may confuse this with many others, as I have. The subject of homeless ghosts is prevalent in her work.

This is the trade-paperback size version. My son loved it, funny and not too scary. Ibbotson has other wonderful books you should check out.
