A fun and quirky story against anything but your average team, perfect for children learning to read.
When Seamus and his scaredy-ba Granda go for a night-time walk, they don’t expect to find a group of ghosts in an old barn. Greg the Ghoul, Phantom Pete and friends are too scared to go up into heaven, in case they are sent back down to hell, so they are just waiting around in the barn, getting bored. Seamus has an idea to relieve their boredom – they should form a football team and play other ghosts! The ghosts are nervous, but Seamus and his Granda help them get fit and improve their game. Soon they are champion players, powering their way through teams on earth, heaven and even hell! The Reading Ladder series helps children to enjoy learning to read.

It was about ghosts, heaven and hell. I loved it. The football team was called spooks and there were three other competitors. My favourite team was mouldy Milan because they made a big mistake of thinking the goalie was bad but in fact they were the best goalkeeper I've ever seen in my whole life (except for my daddy)!! There was also a good striker too.

This book was a fiction. It was a story about a boy, his grandpa and some ghosts playing football. My favourite character was the red devil because he’s really cool and very strong and he doesn’t miss a single goal. Yes i would recommend this story to someone else.
