Summary:

A brand-new lift-the-flap adventure series from best-selling picture book illustrator Mike Byrne, this delightfully spooky tale is packed with excitement, mystery and interactive fun on every page.

Meet the Ghost-pupsters – an enthusiastic squad of curious canines dedicated to investigating and explaining supernatural mysteries. On their busiest night of the year, Halloween, they are called to the eerie Miss Creaker’s Midnight Manor, where strange happenings and ghostly goings-on have everyone on edge. Something is definitely not quite right… but what could it be?

As readers explore the creaky rooms of the Manor, the real magic lies in the thrilling lift-the-flap surprises hidden throughout the book. Behind every flap, a new clue – or a playful twist – is waiting to be discovered. Children will love the excitement of peeking behind curtains, opening doors, and uncovering what’s really lurking in the shadows. Is that truly a giant bat behind the curtains, a vampire in the hallway, or a witch hiding in the attic… or could it all be something much less frightening?

With each flap turned, the mystery deepens, encouraging curiosity, imagination and hands-on engagement. Join the Ghost-pupsters on this interactive adventure and help them uncover the truth behind the bumps in the night at Midnight Manor.
