Bookroo's summary

Ghoulia, a young zombie, is puzzled when her grouchy cousin Dilbert arrives uninvited at Crumbling Manor. As more friends show up with mysterious invitations, Ghoulia discovers her Auntie Departed is missing. The doorbell keeps ringing, and the manor hides secrets. When one friend disappears, Dilbert stumbles upon the truth in the greenhouse, confronting the eerie Chatterbox Ivy. Can Ghoulia unravel the mystery and find her aunt before it's too late? This spooky adventure blends humor and suspense, perfect for young readers who love a good Halloween mystery.

From the publisher

One dark and stormy night, Ghoulia’s cousin Dilbert comes to visit her at Crumbling Manor. She’s confused—she didn’t invite him, and it turns out that Dilbert’s a real grouch. He complains about everything! When Ghoulia tries to track down Auntie Departed to find out why she invited Dilbert, she finds that Auntie has vanished. Ghoulia can’t find her. And the doorbell won’t stop ringing. One after another, Ghoulia’s friends arrive—all with the same mysterious invitation in hand. As the gang searches Crumbling Manor for Auntie Departed, one of their own goes missing. Finally, Dilbert inadvertently solves the mystery in the greenhouse when he finds himself face-to-face with the sinister Chatterbox Ivy. Clue meets Little Shop of Horrors in this fun romp, which includes full-color illustrations and kid-friendly activities.
