Ten-year-old Rebecca didn't ask to move into Number 42 Blackwood Lane-a house so crooked, creaky, and covered in cobwebs that even the neighborhood cats give it a wide berth. With her dad busy unpacking an endless mountain of boxes, Rebecca is left to explore the drafty hallways alone, armed only with a flashlight and her TOP SECRET detective notebook.
She quickly realizes they aren't the only ones living there.
Meet Casper: a small, shimmering ghost with galaxy-swirling eyes and a serious addiction to mischief. Whether it's pouring custard into Dad's boots or making the socks perform a synchronized dance, Casper wants his house back-and he's willing to prank his way to victory.
But Rebecca isn't easily scared. Instead of running away, she proposes a daring truce: Maximum Mischief hours in exchange for help around the house. What starts as a spectral battle of wits soon turns into a heartwarming partnership.
From ghostly housewarming parties to magnetic spatulas, discover how a lonely girl and a forgotten spirit turn a spooky old building into the liveliest home on the block. Perfect for readers who love their mysteries with a side of giggles and a touch of stardust!
