Translated by Anna Golding.
In the second book in this offbeat reluctant-reader-friendly series for the chapter-book set, young zombie Ghoulia must solve the mystery of Auntie Departed's disappearance from Crumbling Manor with the help of unexpected (and very grouchy) visitor Cousin Dilbert. As in Ghoulia, the appeal is in the attractive book design with frequent double-page spreads incorporating text into the colorful gothic-inspired illustrations.
