A brand-new lift-the-flap adventure series by best-selling picture book illustrator Mike Byrne.

The Ghost-pupsters are an enthusiastic dog squad dedicated to explaining supernatural mysteries. It’s their busiest night of the year – Halloween – and they have been called to Miss Creaker’s Midnight Manor to help solve her ghost problem.

In the Manor there are spooky sounds and even more scary silhouettes popping all over the place. Is that a giant bat behind the curtains? Is that a claw coming up from the couch? Or is all not as it seems… ?

Help the Ghost-pupsters hunt for ghosts and crack the mystery of why things are going bump in the night down at the Midnight Manor.
