‘Penhallow is full of dogs, Polly. Look around and you’ll see. We’re everywhere. We always have been.’
Polly is thrilled when she wakes Li-Mei – the Chinese porcelain dog in Penhallow’s Red Drawing Room. But can Rex help Polly uncover the true story behind the little dog’s tales of smugglers and ghouls?

Her mum has got a job managing the stately home and once the last of the visitors leave for the day the place is all theirs! One night, Polly sleepwalks into the garden and wakes to find her hand on the head of one of the stone dogs that guard the steps down to the lawn. Then she feels him lick her cheek! The dog introduces himself as Rex, an Irish Wolfhound who lived at Penhallow many hundreds of years earlier.

When Mouse’s dad asks her to clean out her dead grandmother's house, she says yes. After all, how bad could it be? Answer: pretty bad. Grandma was a hoarder, and her house is stuffed with useless rubbish. That would be horrific enough, but there’s more - Mouse stumbles across her step-grandfather’s journal, which at first seems to be filled with nonsensical rants...until Mouse encounters some of the terrifying things he described for herself.
