About The Book

Welcome to Cod’s Bottom – the sleepy seaside town with a spooky secret! From the author of The Nothing to See Here Hotel comes the second in the laugh-out-loud middle-grade series for fans of The Danger Gang and The Wizard in My Shed. Illustrated throughout in black-and-white by the prolific Claire Powell.

Ten-year-old Ella Griffin has an unusual group of friends . . . the weird and wonderful ghosts of Cod’s Bottom. But since their old haunt was demolished, the ghosts have been beginning to fade. To cheer them up, Ella decides to take her ghoulish crew on a school trip to London, but when the ghosts meet others just like them in the tourist hotspots of the city, they decide they don’t want to return to the sleepy seaside town they call home. Has the time come for Ella to set her friends free?
