Frankenkitty

Born of stitches and lightning, Frankenkitty wanders the halls of the darketty dark castle. Everyone trembles at the sight of him. But is he really such a foul and loathsome creature? And can anyone save him before it’s too late? Packed with deliciously dramatic narration from bestselling author Maudie Powell-Tuck and freakishly fun illustrations from Kate Greenaway Medal-winner Mini Grey, this spine-tingling tale serves as a mischievous reminder that looks can be very, very misleading.

Ted McKenley is done managing the mayhem of Tartarus Hotel’s ghostly residents alone. Fortunately, the holidays are here and Frankie Stark is finally back from boarding school. But there’s no rest for the stepsiblings as a pop megastar has chosen the hotel as the venue for her latest celebrity wedding.



Not to be outshone, the Duke of Snoring – Tartarus’s most notorious (and obnoxious) ghost – has decided to host his 363rd birthday party on the exact same day. As high profile guests, both living and spectral, descend on the hotel, Ted and Frankie can’t catch a break. Will they manage to save the (wedding) day before the duke steals the spotlight?
