Tashi And The Haunted House (PAPERBACK)

When I took my son and his friend down to the oval near our house, they found: a dead tree, a piece of tin, some bamboo and an old roof tile. The boys took a couple of sticks and began tapping ? they?d made their own percussion orchestra! That afternoon I was telling Barbara about the interesting, spooky sounds the boys had made. ?Hmm,? she said thoughtfully, ?ghosts can make very spooky sounds. Imagine an old house where no one?s lived for years, haunted by gruesome ghosts?? Just then the boys blew into their hollow pieces of bamboo ? ?whooo, whooo? ? they went, sending shivers down my spine and Barbara running home with a truly spirited idea? ANNA FIENBERG ?Don?t go near the ghost house. Who knows what is prowling around in there!? There?s a light in the window of the haunted house, and Tashi is going in...He?s brave, but is he fast enough to beat two mysterious strangers in a race around the village. And what will happen if he loses. About The Author Anna and Barbara Fienberg write the Tashi stories together, making up all kinds of daredevil adventures and tricky characters for him to face.
