In MacBoo and The Monster of Scab Hill, MacBoo is a student at the Lonely Dell Ghost Academy. During his first year he's had fun learning how to speak to animals and birds, but unfortunately he hasn't shown quite the same enthusiasm for other ghost subjects like gliding, becoming invisible and shapeshifting.When he fails his tests, the headmaster sends him away to Scab Hill Castle to practise his ghostly skills. He has seven days to practise and return to the Academy to take his tests again. If he fails a second time, he will face a bleak future. When MacBoo arrives at the castle he has a set of unpleasant surprises. First of all, he finds that he must share the castle with three other noisy and demanding creatures. How can he hope to concentrate on practising with such annoying companions? Then things get much worse. The castle is home to a fearsome monster who has been disturbed by the noise and threatens them. The four become allies as they make a bold plan to beat the monster. MacBoo now has to develop his skills to help defeat the monster. But can he succeed quickly enough and can he risk delaying his return to the Academy?MacBoo tries harder than ever before at being invisible and shape-shifting.

Excerpt from Aunt Kitty's TalesIt has been several years since Aunt Kitty last presented herself to her young friends, yet she hopes that she has not been forgotten by them, and that her reappearance will give them pleasure. She introduces to them in the present volume no new acquaintance, but she offers to them, in one group, all who formerly interested them. Blind Alice and her young benefactress - Jessie Graham and her ardent, generous, but inconsiderate friend, Florence Arnott - Grace and Clara - and Ellen Leslie, will here be found together. They have been carefully prepared for this second presentation to the public by Aunt Kitty's own hand. It is hoped that her efforts for their improvement have not been wholly unsuccessful, and that they will be found not altogether unworthy teachers of those lessons of benevolence and truth, generosity, justice and self-government, which she designed to convey through them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
