«Fantasmi sotto sfratto» is Eva Ibbotson's children's ghost novel, published by Salani in paperback (215 pages, in Italian).
Alex MacBuff, a twelve-year-old orphan, inherits Carra Castle, an ancient ruined Scottish residence full of ghosts. With no means to maintain it, he decides to sell it to American millionaire Hiram C. Hopgood, but he will only buy it if there is not a single ghost left in the castle. Evicting the spectral tenants will be his mission.
The work was originally published in 1987 as «The Haunting of Hiram C. Hopgood». It is part of the «Gl' istrici» collection; translation by Mariarosa Giardina Zannini and illustrations by Teresa Sdralevich.
Recommended for readers aged 8 and up who enjoy ghost stories full of humour and mystery.
