The Ghostly Ghastlys Book 5: The Washing-Up-and-Odd-Job Boy

By Barbara Godwin

The little Ghastlys are up to tricks again, and their parents are angry with them. It doesn’t help that as Branwing and Princess are away, Mr Ghastly has to run the Ghostly Ghastly House for the visitors – something which he is doing very badly. He can’t even get the front door open to let them in.

Then there is further trouble over at Alfonso’s Restaurant, and this time the little Ghastlys aren’t the cause of it. The Washing-Up-and-Odd-Job Boy is getting all the blame. He wants to learn how to be a chef like Alfonso, but it looks as if he will lose the washing-up job he already has.

See what happens when the little Ghastlys try to make things better.

Dad never stopped going on and on about the problems at the Ghostly Ghastly House these days. He didn’t listen to a thing the little Ghastlys said. Nor did Mum.

It would be fun to play some tricks on people and make them scream.

The little Ghastlys liked fun and so they decided to have some.

They floated down Chamber Road setting off burglar alarms, banging door knockers and ringing bells as they went.

Then, giggling wildly, they whizzed in and out of houses turning up the volume on radios, televisions and CD players.
