Synopsis

This is one ghost who is determined to get his way—no matter what the price—in this frighteningly fun addition to the You’re Invited to a Creepover series. Maggie Kim’s parents have always dreamed of operating their own hotel, so when the historic Wharton Mansion goes up for sale, they see it as the perfect opportunity to open their own ski lodge. This weekend, Maggie and her family are going to check the place out and perhaps even buy it on the spot. But Maggie doesn’t want to move to a run-down old mansion all the way up on a desolate mountain—and neither does the ghost that lives there…a ghost that will stop at nothing to get his way. This tale is a level 4 on the Creep-o-Meter. Super scary!
