Anisha is back in her fifth book and this time it's Hallowe'en, and for the first time in years, the school is having a disco. Lessons seem to all be based around preparation and disco fever is in the air; however, strange things start happening and, before long, everybody is convinced there is a ghost trying to scupper their chances of holding the disco. Mr Graft, the headteacher, has said that if these things keep happening then the governors won't give the go-ahead for the disco, so it's up to Anisha to put her detective skills to good use.
This is a brilliant book and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Fast paced and with some laughs along the way (I loved seeing what antics the ghost had come up with), you are quickly swept up into the disco fever that has infected the students (well, most of them).
I also liked the additional story thread of Anisha's parents deciding to move and Granny Jas's attempts to thwart them. Anisha is a character that will appeal to readers as she is a strong, determined character but also has worries which make her feel very normal. However, I think it's Granny Jas who is may favourite character and I can imagine her ruling the roost in any household!
A fab book, perfect for this time of year. I can't wait to see what's in store next for Anisha.
