In a case of\nmistaken identity, Stiffkey entrusts Jake with the care of a highly dangerous\nobject which, should it fall into the wrong ghostly hands, will cause real and\nterrifying problems for the living. This is the beginning of an adventure which\nsees Jake careering across the countryside at the wheel of his father’s\ncampervan (scenes any right-minded child will love) pursued by some very\nunpleasant spooks, while gathering around him a band of dead companions\nincluding a fox, and a hockey-stick-wielding, school girl poltergeist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWill Mabbitt finds humour in the worlds of the living and\nthe dead, and envisages the latter as governed by a mix of council-office\nbureaucrats and high-level spies.
