Description

Giles Barnes’ new house creaks and rustles, and fluttering sounds fill his bedroom. His mother insists there are no such thing as ghosts, but Giles enlists the help of his new neighbours, “local geniuses” Tina and Kevin Quark, and their “ghostometer.” Together Barnes and the Brains solve the mystery—and get rid of the ghosts for good!
