Sinossi
Il piccolo Humphrey, ultimogenito di una famiglia di spettri, non cresce feroce come dovrebbe: il suo ectoplasma è roseo e tenero, il suo sguardo non mette paure e le sue falangi producono, scuotendosi, un dolce tintinnio di campanellini. La sua famiglia se ne vergogna un po', ma spera che col crescere possa meritare il soprannome "The Horrible". Età di lettura: da 8 anni.
