The ghost try to scare the family but the twins jokes and upset the ghost. The ghost was so tired and ill, Virginia speak and try to help him. Sr Simon (the ghost) dies and gives very old jewels to she. Finally Virgina married with the duke of Cheshire.

Personal Opinion: I like the book because it was interesting and easy for read. The book is so funny because is unusual that Otis family are not afraid of the ghost.
