Bookroo's summary

Ghoulia, a young zombie, embarks on a summer adventure to Fancy Manor with her quirky family. But their vacation takes a twist when they discover the town plans to reclaim the seemingly abandoned property. With time running out, Ghoulia must concoct a Return to Life potion to prove her family is alive. Can she save their beloved manor and enjoy the summer fun at Lake Mystery? Dive into this spooky, humorous tale of courage and acceptance, perfect for young readers who love a touch of the macabre.

From the publisher

In Book 4 of this Tim Burton-inspired chapter book series, Ghoulia and her family hit the road for summer vacation! Ghoulia, Auntie Departed, and Uncle Misfortune are ready for a vacation. They pack up their things and head to Fancy Manor to visit Cousin Dilbert and Auntie Witch. Fancy Manor is nice and rundown, and it’s on Lake Mystery–with lots of opportunity for swimming and other summer fun. But there’s a hitch in the plan. Because Fancy Manor seems abandoned, the town plans to reclaim the property in just a few days unless a living heir comes forward. Will Ghoulia be able to brew a Return to Life potion strong enough to convince the staff at town hall that this zombie family is actually alive?
