Eddie Dadey’s new chapter book follows the Bailey School kids as they help Great‑aunt Mathilda, who is ill and in need of care. When the children visit her house, they begin noticing odd occurrences: a ghostly stare from the attic, garlic potato chips spelling out "ATTIC," and mysterious noises that Great‑aunt Mathilda dismisses as nothing.

Together, Eddie and his friends investigate the supernatural phenomena, using their friendship and curiosity to uncover the truth behind the hauntings and the secrets of the old house.
