Synopsis:
She remembered then the coach driver's description of the locals here. 'Crazy mountain folk, believe in ghosts,' he had said. 'Ha ha ha! A haunted school! That's a quaint idea. Please do show it to me. I could move in immediately...' The tiny village of Moogalloo deep in the Australian countryside has a new schoolteacher, Fanny Crowe, sent all the way from England. Unhappy twelve-year-old Richard Blackburn wonders if she is really a friendly teacher or a wicked witch. How can she sleep in the haunted hotel - the old building that caused his mother's death? Richard is not the only anxious local. The villagers believe in ghosts and don't like an outsider meddling with their past. Can Richard alone solve the mystery of Moogalloo?
