Meet Tina and Tuck - two unlikely friends ready for adventure! A fun, full-colour series for 6+ children, ideal for readers moving from picture books to chapter stories.Strange bumps! Spooky Shadows! Odd noises! No wonder Tina and Tuck think that Boone School is haunted! 
But when the two mice spot burglars prowling in the school corridors, they wonder if maybe the school “ghost” might not be so bad after all. And that perhaps the Boone School spook can even help them scare off the crooks . . .?
