The Ghosteleers

By Philip Beicken

 

In this fast-paced, middle-grade tale of good versus evil, Norman clumsily stumbles from one mishap to another and must rely on his cat to always save the day. Their adventures are always funny, light-hearted and often amazing.  Together, they can achieve almost anything.

When Norman accidently blows himself up with his pet cat, Morph, they awake to find themselves in a new and mysterious world. Greeted by the bubbly Sir Poop, the pair are invited to join an elite, highly trained team of Ghosteleers. Their ongoing mission - to protect very special humans from harm by using their amazing ghostly powers.

 

Unfortunately for Norman, he quickly discovers his skilful cat is the one with the ability and brains.

 

Assisted by the talented Tabris and the Portal Engineer Potts, the unlikely heroes find themselves battling horrid, stinky creatures called Horags, who would like nothing better than to destroy the protected humans. Once the intrepid duo travel through the Ghosteleer's magical portal, they have just 60 minutes to locate the exceptional person and ensure they survive whatever is thrown at them by the forces of evil.

 

After it is revealed that a super-human has been found on Earth and that person will go on to be the salvation of people everywhere, the stakes suddenly become incredibly high. Only the very best Ghosteleer can save the super-human from the wicked Horag and its mighty winged master, Apollyon.

 

The most important fight in the history of the planet is about to take place. Thankfully, Norman's cat is going to be there.
