Overview
Spooky silliness reigns in Catherine Doyle’s brand new series as Ted and Frankie team up to save their hotel from a ghostly duke and his restless spirits. Featuring hilarious illustrations from Rachael Dean. Ted McKenley would rather live anywhere than with Frankie “spawn-of-the-devil” Stark. And Frankie wouldn’t go near a coward like Ted. Too bad - their parents just got married and blew their savings turning a creepy old mansion into a boutique hotel. At least it’s big enough for the stepsiblings to stay far apart. But when Ted encounters a disappearing housekeeper and Frankie runs into a screaming suit of armour, their feud becomes the least of their problems. With cranky spirits on the loose, Ted and Frankie reluctantly team up to stop the devious Duke of Snoring from turning their new home into haunted rubble. The battle for the hotel has begun!

Reviews
I am always excited for a new Catherine Doyle book — and Scare B'n'B is Doyle at her funniest, silliest, spookiest yet! But it still is full of heart and hope — and is frightfully fantastic * Katie Tsang, bestselling author of DRAGON MOUNTAIN * Spooktacular fun – so funny, and silly in the best way. A total joy! * Sam Copeland, bestselling author of CHARLIE CHANGES INTO A CHICKEN * Brilliantly witty, chaotic and warm, with excellent sibling bickering on both sides of the grave. More spooky than scary, so you'll be safe to read before bed. Or perhaps that's just what the ghosts want you to believe * Louie Stowell, bestselling author of LOKI * Utterly brilliant. Sensationally swashbuckling. Completely magical * A.F. Steadman on PIRATES OF DARKSEA * Few do page-turning, high-stakes, and warm and witty adventure as well as Catherine Doyle * Kiran Millwood Hargarve on THE LOST GIRL KING * Magical in every way * Eoin Colfer on THE STORM KEEPER'S ISLAND *

She is the author of The Lost Girl King and Pirates of Darksea as well as the bestselling Storm Keeper trilogy, set on the magical island of Arranmore where her grandparents grew up. The first book in the trilogy, The Storm Keeper's Island, won the Books Are My Bag Readers Award and the IBW Children's Book Award. Catherine lives in Galway. Rachael Dean is a UK-based children’s book illustrator, who lives on the coast near Liverpool. She has created illustrations for middle grade fiction as well as picture books, and was recently selected to illustrate Dame Jacqueline Wilson’s new titles.
