Horrifying things are happening at Gloomsburg Castle. To begin with, the creepy place is crawling with Tiny Biting Ghosts (or “TIBIGs,” in official ghosthunter code). And now it appears as if the murderous spirit of a brutal Baroness has taken hold of the land-lady, infecting her with a killer case of hic–hic–hiccups! Of course Hugo the Averagely Spooky Ghost is instantly smitten with Her Hideous Highness, only to find out that love stinks! And it smells something awful, too. Looks like the time has come for Tom to put an end to the “foul” play and concoct a plan that will dispel this decaying royal for good.

"The best of the four Ghosthunter books. Young Tom (age 11) bravely saves the day, helped out by his ghosthunting friends Hetty Hyssop and Hugo the Averagely Spooky Ghost. Quite of bit of suspense, a text with a good vocabulary, and, you know, ghosts!" — Susan_T. (4 out of 5 stars)

" Another one in a fun series. "
" The plot in this book was a little too much like the second. I still enjoyed it but wanted something a little different or more complex to happen. "
" Sadly. A boring book that is poorly written. The pace of the book is unbearably slow. My kids and I made it to around page 50 before we pulled the plug. "
" I listened to this book with my 5 and 8 year old kids. They enjoyed it quite a bit, and had many LOL moments in the car. The narrator is excellent, and does a great voice for Hugo! "
" Another good one. I enjoy a good novel that doesn't try to appear to be non-fiction. I can still enjoy the characters and the events. I hope I can find her other ghosthunter book. "
" Surprisingly wearisome considering the otherwise great author. "
" Still worth the listen. Gets a bit more entertaining in the end. "
" I liked it because someone says "tra la la" like in Captain Underpants. It was also scary. "
" I don't know how I feel about overuse of acronyms in the story. By chapter five, you'll be ready to tell the ghost hunters to STFU. Also, interesting commentary about the social ramifications of cross dressing... "
" Book # 3 in the series. Still funny...my kids laugh out loud at the adventures of this motley ghost hunting crew! "
" Reading this with my 7 year old right now, he loves it! "
" A fun series about a boy, his grandmother's friend who hunts ghosts, and their not-so-scary ghost friend who helps them. Very fun and imaginative. "
" I only read to about page 60 before I gave up on this book. I loved Inkheart, but I thought that this book was just awful. "
" A very simple but humorous and enjoyable book. It was fun for once to have the Worms, the keepers of the castle to actually be involved instead of just being scared and not doing anything. A little to simple way to kill the Baroness for me, but fun having to find the date and time of her death. "
" I loved this! I listened to this and enjoyed the story but especially enjoyed John Beach, the narrator. His voices for the characters, especially Hugo, the ASG, are fabulous. "
