Nine-year-old Terry Fide dreams of being the next great ghost detective like his dad. But there’s one problem: Terry is terrified of anything remotely scary (except his ghost dog, Bones).

When his dad is called to work in Sydney, Terry is left to deal with a spook causing havoc at the bakery. He is joined by Bones and two friends. Max, an avid clue collector, and Avery, an inventor. Will they solve the mystery? Will Terry overcome his fears and become a real ghost detective?

A fun, spooky junior fiction book for emerging readers. The first of three in the Ghost Detectives series.

You should always be prepared for when a dragon tourist lands in your backyard. Your visitor will need to meet the family, learn table manners and go sightseeing. Will you qualify as a top host? While this hilarious book is full of silliness, it also explores language barriers and non-verbal communication. The heartwarming ending leaves readers with a beautiful message of embracing differences, and how a hug has universal meaning.
