The Haunting of Granite Falls

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. Twelve-year-old Alex MacBuff, owner of the ancient castle Carra on the bleak Scottish coast, has been raised by ghosts. Life changes when Carra is sold to a millionaire who plans to transport it to Texas with the condition that there must be no ghosts. Ibbotson proceeds to pile absurdities upon impossibilites, and her knack for vivid detail individualizes the cast of stock characters.
