With a beautiful cover illustration by Alex T. Smith, creator of the Claude series, The Haunting of Hiram is a wonderfully spooky young fiction title from the award-winning author of Journey to the River Sea, Eva Ibbotson.
‘I will buy your castle,’ declared Hiram C. Hopgood. ‘But only if there are no ghosts!’
Alex MacBuff can’t afford to keep his beloved Castle Carra, and an American millionaire has made him an offer he can’t refuse. The castle is shipped all the way to Texas, but its ghostly inhabitants, including Krok the Viking warrior and a hell-hound called Cyril, follow their home across the Atlantic. How can Alex stop them haunting Hiram and also save the millionaire’s daughter from an evil ransom plot?

I thought the people in there were gross i thought that the owners were very selfish i like the owners best and i would recommend it
Very good
A lovely little adventure / ghost story for 7 - 10 year olds. It reminds me a bit of How to Train your Dragon mixed with The Graveyard Book.
My favourite characters were Helen and Flossie
I liked when the ghosts got on the ship
I read this book from my local library it was very mysterious and involves ghosts and a haunted castle called castle Hiram. definitely recommend it. keep reading!
I loved it because it was really interesting and full of tension.
