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 new adventure, which contains a few surprises.
What happens in Vol. 4:
Otto and Emily get a new supply teacher called Mr Malone, who behaves rather strangely and keeps asking Otto questions about his missing Uncle Archibald. The children find him exceedingly creepy. And Harold the Grim Reaper has problems of his own: somebody has opened up an illegal portal to the afterlife, and the ITS (the Institute for the Transportation of Souls) is trying to find out who is responsible. Several residents of the afterlife have already come through the portal to this life and need to be sent back as quickly as possible. But who is the culprit? Just as the friends are on the verge of solving the mystery, Aunt Sharon finds herself in great danger…
