The Beasts of Clawstone Castle

243 pp. | Dutton | August, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-525-47719-5 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. To her usual mix of benevolent ghosts, moldering castles, kind children, and greedy villains, Ibbotson adds a mystery involving a herd of rare cattle. Madlyn and Rollo help their impoverished relatives attract tourists to Clawstone Castle by hiring ghosts to haunt it. The plot becomes somewhat chaotic, but the characters are memorable--especially the ghost with a rat gnawing on his heart.
