From larger than life, tiddlywinks obsessed Awful Aunt Alberta to her pet owl, Wagner – this is an adventure with a difference. Aunt Alberta is on a mission to cheat the young Lady Stella Saxby out of her inheritance – Saxby Hall. But with mischievous and irrepressible Soot, the cockney ghost of a chimney sweep, alongside her Stella is determined to fight back... And sometimes a special friend, however different, is all you need to win through.

The only book of David Walliams I've read to date is Ratburger and that left me feeling blah. This book though, is brillant. I loved it from start to finish. It's a kids book, yes. But even us adults enjoy the simple things. It's a nice easy read.

Lady Stella has lost her parents and now her Awful aunt Alberta is to look after her. Alberta only wants the deeds to Saxby Hall, the deeds that belong to Stella. There is plenty of mischief and mayhem throughout the book where Stella and her trusted ghost friend are to save themselves and the house from the evil aunt.

It's a cracking book. I must add, that the hardback edition is great, if you have a sneak under the dust jacket the main cover is goregous. It really is wonderful.
