Aveline pays a visit to the local old bookstore and buys a book about ghost stories specifically about Malmouth and the surrounding areas. Aveline’s curiosity and interest in ghosts soon make her wonder if Malmouth has any ghosts. A spooky atmosphere surrounds Malmouth, with its rainy and cold weather as well as creepy scarecrows that peer from people’s front yards. The story is about Aveline Jones who loves reading ghost stories and soon finds herself in one.Īveline needs to stay with her Aunt Lilian, who lives in a small town Malmouth, for a few days while her mother visits her Gran.
