The Great Ghost Rescue

It's my perfect dose of "Halloween-ness" since it's a bit creepy and icky and we have ghosts and skulls and headless aunties, but it's all sort of cozy somehow and so humorous and it's like a real "family" despite the fact the mom is a hag, the father is the ghosts of a Scotsman whose legs were cut off in battle, and the son is a ghost named Humphrey who TRIES to live up to "the Horrible" tag at the end of his name. I love every book by this author. Humphrey the Horrible (actually his name is simply Humphrey-he added "the Horrible" to help himself become horrible) is a small, mostly unsuccessful ghost in a family of ghastly ghThe ghosts of Britain need a sanctuary.

Rick meets Humphrey the Horrible one day at school and they strike a friendship. I was taken in from the very first chapter,in which she describes a ghost family and explains why they've become homeless. Absolutely loved it! Also, oddly the villain in this one strongly resembles a certain president who shall not be named, and several of the themes really resonate to today's current events both in America and the UK. Young Humphrey is a ghost with a big problem. Like so many of her novels, there is an underlying environmental theme: that in the pursuit of "progress" and "change" we have destroyed the natural habitat of many living creatures. The acting is average, the story has about 5 minutes of plot in it and they do it in about 3 minutes. There are no approved quotes yet for this movie. As they search for new haunting grounds they soon discover that they are not alone. I LOVED this boSo much fun, yet surprisingly thoughtful and touching, too. But Humphrey has enough pluck to befriend a smart, politically aware schoolboy, Rick Henderson, who is willing to take the ghosts' cause right to the top, to number 10 Downing Street-home of the Prime Minister.In this one, somewhat like the last Ibbotson I read (Dial-a-Ghost), a family of ghosts find themselves homeless after many centuries, for modern humans can never seem to leave any place alone, or any one (human, animal, or ghost) to live their lives in peace, covering everything with concrete, noise, and garbage, and destroying any bit of nature they can lay their hands on. Ghosts from all over the world have been exorcised from their dwellings, with dark castles and ancient buildings being destroyed by the living, and turned into shopping centers. But luckily for this family, headed by the Gliding Kilt and his wife, the Hag, they meet a little boy at his school, Rick, In this one, somewhat like the last Ibbotson I read (Dial-a-Ghost), a family of ghosts find themselves homeless after many centuries, for modern humans can never seem to leave any place alone, or any one (human, animal, or ghost) to live their lives in peace, covering everything with concrete, noise, and garbage, and destroying any bit of nature they can lay their hands on. Unlike Island of the Aunts, TGGR was trying to do too many things at once, I think. It was still a silly, spooky, enjoyable read, but not my favorite Ibbotson.This was a spooky, cooky book about ghosts.
