Souls in jars of pickled gherkins, a beastly bat and a door into the next world in the living room – there’s nothing in Scary Harry’s cosmos that isn’t there. Sonja Kaiblinger sends Otto and his bony pal into a funny and thrilling adventure, which contains a few surprises.
What happens in Vol.1:
Otto lives in a realio-trulio haunted house and has a talking bat for a pet. There’s no way his life could get scarier, he thinks. Until he finds a Grim Reaper in the neighbour’s garden. Harold, known as ‘Scary Harry’ is not as awful as he seems, the first time you see him. His job has really affected his spirits and he would love to take a holiday, instead of constantly gathering in souls.
However, there’s no chance of this happening, because Otto’s pet ghosts are stolen, and they are all at sixes and sevens. Together with his best friend Emily and his new pal Harold, Otto sets out to look for his pet. The trail leads to a fairground called Scary Land. From what they hear, the ghosts are being kept locked up there and forced to haunt. But who is behind it? Otto and Emily soon find out that it is very useful to have a Grim Reaper on side.AWARDED:
