I might be a lot older than 9 but since I read Charlie Changes Into a Chicken, Sam Copeland's books have been my favourite to read (I even got my friend and her gran reading them!) This book does not disappoint and I think it's my favourite book since the authors first book.

Greta and the Ghost Hunters follows a girl who in her desperation to stop her gran going to a care home comes up with a plan with her new ghost friends to prove her gran is not going mad by proving the house is haunted but she ends up in more ghostly trouble than she anticipated.

Whilst this story didn't have as serious a topic as previous books I love how the book was full of family love and heart from Greta. It is lovely to see how much she cared for her grandma as well as the members of the family in spirit form she can now see and how whilst she seemed to overdo her plan at times you could tell it was coming from her heart and her love of keeping her family together. The end was particularly heartwarming yet sad as it showed how far the characters had come in the story and it was great to see how everyone was considering each other's feelings and what was best for them.

The illustrations are fantastic, as always, and work so well with the authors writing. Together they really bring the story to life and show off just how funny and humorous the story is whilst also bringing across the importance of the emotions which show not everything in life is all fun and games and sometimes it's sad for everyone too.

This is a fantastic book that is hilarious, full of sarcasm and lots of toilet humour which children will love whilst also having a more emotional and touching side to the story. I do have two complaints though, I didn't want the book to end and bring back the footnotes (can it be a Sam Copeland book without them!!)

Read this book in one sitting. Great for kids who like David Walliams. Have not counted how many times the word poo was used but it must be dozens. The word fart features heavily too. Not great literature but a funny heartfelt story for kids who will probably roar with laughter.

Another great, fun story by Dam Copeland.
Greta lives in an unusual house, with her Mum, dad, brother, Grandma and a few ghosts. She is scared to leave the house following an accident and builds a rapport with the ghosts in the house, one of whom is the narrator.
A lovely story, great for reading aloud with a class of children, full of warmth and humour.

THANKS TO NETGALLEY AND THE PUBLISHER FOR THIS REVIEW COPY IN EXCHANGE FOR AN HONEST REVIEW.

Greta lives with her grandma, parents, younger brother, and a few ghosts. Her Mother is yoga obsessed and her father tries his hand on poetry. Younger brother is too young to talk and anyways he is always busy playing with lorries. Naturally, Grandma is Greta's best friend. But she talks to the ghost of grandpa and Greta's parents want her to send her to an old home. Greta also used to think that grandma is losing marbles until one day Greta was hit by a vehicle and after that accident now she can also see the ghosts. Her parents are more than sure that Grandma is a bad influence on their daughter.

I love the writing style and narration. The illustration was so cute. The character building, humor, pace, and flow of the plot were perfect. I like the way all characters were so different and showed character growth throughout the story. Greta and her dynamics with all the ghosts were so good and made me laugh many times. If you want to read a feel-good book this one is for you.

Hilarious and quirky! Sam Copeland has done it again. Great is a guaranteed giggle. I can't wait to share it with my class
