From the publisher

The first book in the thrilling Everyone Can Be a Reader (Middle Grade Sci-Fi/Fantasy) series, expertly designed to engage reluctant readers and provide an accessible reading experience for all. “As you all know, Grimstone Hall is thought to be the most haunted house in England. But there’s something more important than that. I think we are the only haunted house where all the ghosts are children. It’s rather special, don’t you think?” Jake and the other finalists in a ghost-story writing competition for children have been invited to tour Grimstone Hall where they’ll learn about the seven ghosts who haunt the grounds! As their guide leads them through grand rooms, hidden nooks, and magnificent grounds, they hear all about the ghosts. But strange shapes and shadows follow Jake as they move through the house, and the tour guide starts behaving very suspiciously. With each tale told, Jake grows more anxious. Soon he’ll discover something is very, very wrong . . . Perfect for anyone seeking spooky middle grade books or scary stories to tell in the dark, the Everyone Can Be a Reader (Middle Grade Sci-Fi/Fantasy) hi-lo book series presents accessible ghost stories in an easy-to-read style.
