His truly embarrassing parents have always been the main problem in Pip’s life (all gut-friendly foods, fashion faux pas and PDAs), but that all changes when the family moves into Elbow Alley. Though his parents are unaware, Pip quickly realises that there’s something very odd about the area and their new neighbours.
Elbow Alley, he learns, is one of London’s magical enclaves, home to ghosts, werewolves, a banshee and, most alarmingly, a spirit snatcher. When his parents’ spirits are snatched, it’s up to Pip and his new friend Fliss to save them. The story speeds along, full of excitement and magic, and readers will be backing Pip and Fliss to save his parents and others spirit snatched victims.
A lively, inventive and thoroughly satisfying magical adventure.

About
The Spirit Snatcher Synopsis
Welcome to Elbow Alley, home of the most monstrous mystery...
Pip was not expecting his new neighbours to be vampires, banshees and ghosts. Worst of all is the mysterious spirit snatcher, which appears out of nowhere and sucks away people's personalities. When it attacks Pip's parents, the only way to save them is to find and destroy it. But no one knows who it is...
Along with his new friend Fliss and her dog Splodge, Pip sets out to investigate, facing murderous ghouls, werewolf attacks and a dangerously mouldy cheese. Because if he and Fliss can't stop the creature by their thirteenth birthdays, they'll be spirit-snatched too.
The Spirit Snatcher explores the irresistible idea of secret pockets of magic hiding in the real world. Filled with delicious spooky detail and colourful characters, this is the perfect Halloween read and ideal for fans of Michelle Harrison, Catherine Doyle and Diana Wynne-Jones.
