The ghosts of Craggyford Castle have been happy for 500 years. But outside the world is changing. Soon there will be nothing left of their spooky haunts, just new houses and factories as far as a ghost can see. The ghouls have to find a safe place and quick. By the author of "Which Witch?"

Heckie is not just a witch - she's a witch who means to make the world a better place. As she sets about puuting the world to rights she meets the smarmily charming Mr Knapsack, and all is very nearly lost.

A story in the same vein as "Platform 13" and "Which Witch?" Alex McBuff, a 12-year-old orphan, doesn't want to sell the haunted Castle Carra, but it's falling to pieces. When a Texan millionaire offers #500,000 for the castle, it's an offer Alex can't refuse. But the castle must be ghost-free.

A collection of three wonderfully festive stories from Eva Ibbotson, the bestselling author of Journey to the River Sea. With a beautiful cover by Joe Wilson and inside illustrations, The Christmas Star is a wonderful gift to treasure at Christmas and all year round. In the first story, Vicky and the Christmas Angel, a young Viennese girl discovers, to her horror, who really brings the children's presents at Christmas. In The Christmas Star a family encounters a fortune teller at the local Christmas market who changes their lives. The Great Carp Ferdinand is a story about a hero with a difference as it follows the impact that Ferdinand – the carp intended for the Mannhaus family's Christmas dinner – has on the household in the lead-up to Christmas.
