Ghoulia and the Doomed Manor is the fourth book in this popular full-color chapter book series, a great fit for fans of Netflix's Wednesday and all readers who enjoy a mix of humor, adventure, and a touch of the macabre!
Ghoulia is a typical little girl . . .who happens to be a zombie. She lives in Crumbling Manor with her Auntie Departed and albino greyhound named Tragedy
Ghoulia, Auntie Departed, and Uncle Misfortune are ready for a vacation. They pack up their things and head to Fancy Manor to visit Cousin Dilbert and Auntie Witch. Fancy Manor is nice and rundown, and it's on Lake Mystery--with lots of opportunity for swimming and other summer fun.
But there's a hitch in the plan. Because Fancy Manor seems abandoned, the town plans to reclaim the property in just a few days unless a living heir comes forward. Will Ghoulia be able to brew a Return to Life potion strong enough to convince the staff at town hall that this zombie family is actually alive?
Perfect for ages 6-8, reluctant readers, and fans of Wednesday and The Addams Family, this Halloween-themed series combines a love for the spooky with lessons about acceptance and courage. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Ghoulia's world, this is a must-have for any young reader's library.
