The Spirit Stealer

Jimmy Joss’s parents are going to Trinidad on business. As they will be away for three months, Jimmy and his mother interview various women to act as housekeeper. The final applicants are an old woman and her granddaughter.
Jimmy is amazed when the old woman turns out to be Chitwe, the witch from the Antiverse.
But her presence is no coincidence, she has come to protect the ghosts who live in an old manor house not far from where Jimmy lives.
The manor house is owned by a local builder who is under the power of the Spirit Stealer.
For hundreds of years the Spirit Stealer has been devouring ghosts and is getting very powerful. His power is continually growing in strength and he intends to use this power to take over the world.
Along with his closest friend, Micky, they meet Chitwe’s sister, Elspel, who had been a mouse in the Antiverse but is now a frog. Opteoni, Chitwe’s granddaughter, a learner witch whose spells are not always successful. Into this mix we also meet a dragon, the troublemaking builder’s nephew, and a rather clever professor.
Important also are the ghosts that live in the manor and although vulnerable they help to defeat the Spirit Stealer.
