What to expect
'Tis the season for SPOOKING as winter hits the haunted Tartarus Hotel in the hilarious follow-up to Catherine Doyle’s middle-grade romp Scare B’n’B.
'Scare B'n'B is Doyle at her funniest, silliest, spookiest yet!' - Katie Tsang, bestselling author of Dragon Mountain
'Brilliantly witty, chaotic and warm, with excellent sibling bickering on both sides of the grave'- Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki
Ted McKenley is done managing the mayhem of Tartarus Hotel’s ghostly residents alone. Fortunately, the holidays are here and Frankie Stark is finally back from boarding school. But there’s no rest for the stepsiblings as a pop megastar has chosen the hotel as the venue for her latest celebrity wedding.
Not to be outshone, the Duke of Snoring – Tartarus’s most notorious (and obnoxious) ghost – has decided to host his 363rd birthday party on the exact same day.
As high profile guests, both living and spectral, descend on the hotel, Ted and Frankie can’t catch a break. Will they manage to save the (wedding) day before the duke steals the spotlight?
Critics Review
-
I am always excited for a new Catherine Doyle book — and Scare B'n'B is Doyle at her funniest, silliest, spookiest yet! But it still is full of heart and hope — and is frightfully fantastic
Katie Tsang, bestselling author of DRAGON MOUNTAIN
-
Spooktacular fun – so funny, and silly in the best way. A total joy!
Sam Copeland, bestselling author of CHARLIE CHANGES INTO A CHICKEN
-
Brilliantly witty, chaotic and warm, with excellent sibling bickering on both sides of the grave. More spooky than scary, so you'll be safe to read before bed. Or perhaps that's just what the ghosts want you to believe
Louie Stowell, bestselling author of LOKI
-
Few do page-turning, high-stakes, and warm and witty adventure as well as Catherine Doyle
