THE SPECTRE OF HAIRY HECTOR
A
brand new ghostly tale. Jack and his Aunt Arcady need to solve the spectral
haunting at their new home in Seacombe. Just what is making that terrible noise
in the cellar?
Review: THE SPECTRE OF HAIRY HECTOR "has as much appeal to boys as well as to girls. More funny than scary, but with enough spook to feel like a grown up read, this tells of the bad-tempered spectre Hairy Hector, whose residence in Jack and Aunt Arcady's new house causes more than a few things to go bump in the night," wrote Lyn Gardner, compiling her "Tales of the Unexpected" for the Guardian Children's Book Review supplement "Amazing Stories" in Autumn 2003.
