What would you do if you discovered a ghost in your walls whose mission in life was to create trouble? Even worse, no one else could see or hear her except you! Come along to hear all about Lottie, Pog the dog and a runaway ghost called Martha who is plotting to get rid of Lottie's stepmother-to-be and bring her real mother home. If you love stories of unconventional families, smelly dogs or meddlesome ghosts, this one’s for you!
