The Haunting of Hiram by Eva Ibbotson
5.0
This was one of my favourite books as a kid.
It's the absolutely hilarious story of a rich American, who buys a haunted castle. He hires people to dissemble it stone for stone and transport it to his home. BUT: The ghosts have to stay and find a new home.
I really love the (for a childrens book sometimes a bit dark) humor in tis one. One of the ghosts tries to drown itself on a regular basis for example, which will never work, as she is already dead of course.
So for the readers ages ten and up, who aren't squeamish or faint of heart, this a fabulous, funny, fast story!
