Ten-year-old Lottie Baker loves her dad and her dog, Pog. And that’s quite enough family for her, thank you very much. But then she meets Martha May Claringbold, a ghost desperate to escape a dark, smelly and terribly dull graveyard – and move into Lottie’s room!
In this interactive storytime event for Warrnambool Library, former Australian Children’s Laureate Sally Rippin introduces her funny and heartfelt new adventure full of friendship, surprises and just the right amount of spookiness.
