Description
A quirky and very funny middle-grade fantasy title that is perfect for fans of A Girl Called Corpse and Nevermoor.
When Nanny Tobbins fell off a horse and broke her neck, the grown-ups told nine-year-old Albertine she'd never see her beloved governess again. But it simply isn't true. For every night, when the clock strikes twelve, Nanny returns to the nursery.
Yet in her new ghostly state, Nanny Tobbins quickly causes chaos in the household—and the timing couldn't be more inconvenient. Albertine's stepmother is struggling to settle in, and Papa is much occupied working with Prince Albert on the Great Exhibition.
To make matters worse, the grown-ups don't believe in ghosts at all, leaving Albertine to take the blame for Nanny's unruly antics.
How will Albertine restore peace to her home before the unthinkable occurs?
