Olly Spellmaker and the Hairy Horror - Softcover

When the Matheson family find their living room frighteningly tidy they know that something very odd is going on. But they're not quite ready for Hairy Bill - a seriously shaggy bogle, and the family's very own house spirit. He used to do chores on the island farms of ancient Mathesons but now he's moved to the city - right into Alex Matheson's house. And he won't stop cleaning. And re-decorating. He even puts a deer head up on the wall! First Alex thought that this hairy ghoul might be cool to have around. But now he's had enough. For there's a sinister side to Hairy Bill and the Mathesons had better act fast. Enter Olly Spellmaker, a motor bike-riding, leather-clad witch who might be able to get rid of the bogle AND tell Alex about his own spooky skills . . .
