Spooky silliness reigns in Catherine Doyle’s brand new series as Ted and Frankie team up to save their hotel from a ghostly duke and his restless spirits. Featuring hilarious illustrations from Rachael Dean.
'Scare B'n'B is Doyle at her funniest, silliest, spookiest yet!' - Katie Tsang, bestselling author of Dragon Mountain
'Brilliantly witty, chaotic and warm, with excellent sibling bickering on both sides of the grave' - Louie Stowell, bestselling author of Loki
Ted McKenley would rather live anywhere than with Frankie “spawn-of-the-devil” Stark. And Frankie wouldn’t go near a coward like Ted. Too bad - their parents just got married and blew their savings turning a creepy old mansion into a boutique hotel. At least it’s big enough for the stepsiblings to stay far apart.
But when Ted encounters a disappearing housekeeper and Frankie runs into a screaming suit of armour, their feud becomes the least of their problems.
With cranky spirits on the loose, Ted and Frankie reluctantly team up to stop the devious Duke of Snoring from turning their new home into haunted rubble.
The battle for the hotel has begun!
