Bookroo's summary

Oliver's life hangs in the balance when his scheming relatives hire terrifying ghosts to scare him to death. But a mix-up at the Dial-a-Ghost Agency sends the gentle Wilkinson ghost family instead. As the Snodde-Brittles' sinister plan unfolds, can the Wilkinsons protect Oliver and thwart the deadly plot? With spectral surprises and unexpected alliances, this ghostly tale challenges the boundaries between fear and friendship.

From the publisher

The Dial-a-Ghost Agency finds good homes for ghosts. And Fulton and Frieda Snodde-Brittle are looking for a few frightening ghosts to “accidentally” scare their young cousin and heir, Oliver, to death. The ladies at the Dial-a-Ghost Agency have the perfect match: the Shriekers, two bloodstained and bickering horrors. But thanks to a mix-up at the agency, the Wilkinsons, a kind family of ghosts, arrive instead. Can they put a stop to the Snodde-Brittles’ schemes before it’s too late? Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes.
