Tom is frightened by the ghost in the cellar, then seeks help from the experienced ghost-hunter Hedwig Kümmelsaft.
Ghosts and haunted situations are central, while the work is also presented as humorous and ‘spooky-fun’, including an unusually slimy ghost.
Notice how the book makes ghosts both unsettling and entertaining.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
