This little boy insists that there are ghosts living in the mansion.  Will I.B. Grumply get to the bottom of all this?  Will he give up and move to a new place for peace and quiet?  Is there really a ghost living in the old mansion?  Read more to find out.

Follow-Up Questions:

    I like this book because it really interest me with a ghost with glasses. I was shocked because he can talk to the ghost but he sometimes he gets the ghost mad.

    I loved the book. I finished it in only a couple of hours. It was funny when I.B. Grumply and the ghost went on a date. And the picture only showed what she was wearing.
