Little Ghost Wicky - Tapa dura

A warm, engaging story celebrating individuality and the determination to make one’s dreams come true

Little ghost, Wicky, lives in a big, dark and dusty house. His grandad lives inside the grandfather clock. Wicky is only allowed out to play at midnight. ‘Ghosts like the dark!’ says his grandad. But Wicky doesn’t. He loves the sunshine.

One morning, Wicky peeks out of the attic window and, hearing a voice, becomes more eager than ever to go outside before dark.

Will Wicky find a way to leave the house without Grandad finding out?
