About the Book



As the Night of the Hungry Ghosts approaches, Bridget and Tom investigate a mysterious ghost train that causes disappearances in their town and race against time to save Mr. Vanderpuff and stop the looming threat to Belle-on-Sea.



Book Synopsis



Follow the brilliant Bridget Vanderpuff on a thrilling new adventure as she investigates the mystery of the ghost train haunting her town--perfect for fans of Katherine Arden and Beth Lincoln!

Belle-on-Sea is getting ready for the Night of the Hungry Ghosts, the most frightfully fun time of the year. Mr. Vanderpuff's bake will be the centerpiece of the whole parade, but he needs a new creation and he's totally stumped. To make matters worse, salty old seadog Captain Lufty and his Hat Rat, Barry, have warned that something is coming to Belle-on-Sea. Something terrible...

After a ghost train is seen rattling into town, people start to go missing--first the librarian, then the mayor. Bridget and Tom begin tracking the train's tracks, delighted to be in the thick of another mystery.

Then the unthinkable happens: the ghost train takes Mr. Vanderpuff! Someone--or something--is out to destroy Belle-on-Sea. But they've forgotten one important detail... This is Bridget's town.



Review Quotes




"An absurd, sincere, and whimsical series...A charming readalike for fans of Roald Dahl's Matilda."--School Library Journal, starred review

"Wordplay, creative inventions, ample footnotes, and boisterous illustrations continue the playful, energetic, and occasionally over-the-top vibe...A delectable concoction that contains a dash of Sherlock Holmes and a sprinkling of the supernatural."--Kirkus Reviews
