Bookroo's summary

Max is haunted by Inkweed, a sinister ghost waiting for him to sleep to unleash chaos. With his friends Nicky and Tara, they must keep him awake to thwart the ghost's deadly plan. As exhaustion sets in, can they find a way to banish Inkweed before it's too late? The clock is ticking, and Max's eyes are heavy. Will they succeed, or will sleep spell their doom?

From the publisher

Max already shares his house with two young ghosts that only he can see, but things get really bad when an evil ghost decides to share his body.
