Ghost of Blackwood Manor

One shortcut. Two best friends. A whole lot of trouble.Aiden lives for excitement, and he's certain that taking the overgrown, muddy track past the abandoned Blackwood Manor is the perfect way to get home before the Scottish storm breaks. His best friend, Iain-who treats the Official School Safety Handbook like a holy text-is significantly less enthusiastic about the "shortcut."But when a violent gust of wind slams the manor's heavy oak door shut, trapping them inside, their quick trip turns into a race for survival. The house is far from empty: it's filled with dusty secrets, self-playing pianos, and a territorial ghostly chieftain named Sir Roderick Blackwood, who is determined to keep them locked in the dungeon for a fortnight.Armed only with their wits, a pair of muddy mountain bikes, and a desperate need to make it home for teatime, Aiden and Iain must navigate secret passages, outsmart a spectral hound, and find a way out before they become permanent residents of the manor.For fans of fast-paced adventure and spooky mysteries, Ghost of Blackwood Manor is a hilarious, heart-pounding journey where the greatest danger isn't just the ghosts-it's following your best friend's "brilliant" ideas.
