The Haunting of Granite Falls Paperback - 2005
by Eva Ibbotson; Kevin Hawkes (Illustrator)
"Combine a quintet of homesick Scottish ghosts, a Texas millionaire and his sickly daughter, the impoverished last scion of the Clan MacBluff, and a trio of fascistically inclined malefactors, and you get a terrifically tongue-in-cheek outing!."--"Kirkus Reviews." Illustrations.
Summary
American millionaire Hiram C. Hopgood will stop at nothing to make his daughter, Helen, happy—even if it means buying her an ancient Scottish castle and shipping it back to Texas. Assembling the castle isn’t a problem for the oil tycoon . . . it’s the ghosts that worry him. Hopgood has made up his mind: the ghouls have got to go. But these spirits don’t spook so easily. Instead, they make their way to America, where they meet up with a magical severed hand and three fiendish, cross-dressing kidnappers for a Texassized adventure with a ghostly Scottish flair.
