The great ghost rescue - Eva Ibbotson

The ghosts of Britain need a sanctuary.

Castles with central heating, bogs drained for motorways, dismal forests cleared for car parks-there are few places left for a respectable ghost to haunt.

Humphrey the Horrible (actually his name is simply Humphrey-he added the Horrible to help himself become horrible) is a small, mostly unsuccessful ghost in a family of ghastly ghouls.

His mother worries.

But Humphrey has enough pluck to befriend a smart, politically aware schoolboy, Rick Henderson, who is willing to take the ghosts' cause right to the top, to number 10 Downing Street-home of the Prime Minister.
