Until the inspector arrives, that is. Jamie, newly arrived from Scotland, is lonely. No one can understand his accent and all his practical jokes are going wrong. Plus, his new school is seriously weird. Perhaps it's haunted... A spooky, fun-filled adventure – packed with hospitals, ghosts, computers and practical jokes.
