"A funny, ghostly tale, packed with adventure and a sprinkling of history (including a starring role for the ghost of the Duke of Wellington). With hilarious illustrations from Mike Phillips, this warm-hearted story is the perfect way to help build children's reading confidence. There's something unusual about Stella and Tom's friends - they're all a little bit dead! The Duke of Wellington and the other ghosts in the castle are feeling homesick and so a ghostly road trip is the only cure. Can Stella and Tom get their friends home without the interfering ghost catcher, Stoneyheart, catching up with them? Funny, exciting or a little bit spooky, Black Cats are fast-paced stories with short chapters and illustrations throughout: perfect stepping stones to reading confidence."
