The third in the Ghosthunters series by Cornelia Funke (INKHEART) should attract an appreciative audience. More lighthearted than INKHEART, this slightly silly tale is geared to younger listeners. The ghost-hunting trio of Tom, Hetty, and Hugo are once again on the job. This time they're attempting to stop Gloomburg Castle's long-dead owner, the moldy Baroness, from haunting its present occupants. John Beach delivers distinctive personalities with endearing quirks. His engaging tone will have listeners immersed in the ghostly hijinks. Given the Inkheart movie, Funke's works should generate increased interest, and audiobook fans won't be disappointed in this performance. M.H.N.

Product Description
Horrifying things are happening at Gloomsburg Castle. To begin with, the creepy place is crawling with Tiny Biting Ghosts (or “TIBIGs,” in official ghosthunter code). And now it appears as if the murderous spirit of a brutal Baroness has taken hold of the land-lady, infecting her with a killer case of
hic–
hic–hiccups!
Of course Hugo the Averagely Spooky Ghost is instantly smitten with Her Hideous Highness, only to find out that love stinks! And it smells something awful, too. Looks like the time has come for Tom to put an end to the “foul” play and concoct a plan that will dispel this decaying royal for good.
