Ghost Trouble at Number 42

Ten-year-old Rebecca didn’t expect her new home at Number 42 Blackwood Lane to come with a "custard-in-the-boots" policy, but that’s exactly what happens when she meets Cosmo. A shimmering, galaxy-eyed ghost with a serious addiction to mischief, Cosmo has spent fifty years scaring away intruders. With her dad buried under an endless mountain of moving boxes, it’s up to Rebecca and her TOP SECRET detective notebook to handle the spectral prankster. Instead of running away, Rebecca outsmarts the ghost by proposing the ultimate truce: Maximum Mischief hours in exchange for help around the house. What follows is a whimsical journey from "spooky" to "spectacular." Between synchronized sock dances, floating pancakes, and a housewarming party that the neighbors will never forget, a lonely girl and a forgotten spirit form an unbreakable bond. This heartwarming tale proves that even the most "unwanted" house can become a beloved home when you add a little stardust and a lot of laughter. Perfect for young readers who love a mystery that’s more "giggles" than "googlies," it’s a story about finding family in the most translucent of places.
