St Sebastians School in Grimesford is the pits. No, really it is. Built on
the boggy remains of a medieval plague pit, this once proud schools dodgy
nineteenth-century foundations are causing it to slowly subside. Every year it
sinks a little further into the ground, and every year the ghosts of the plague
victims underneath become more disgruntled. All they want is to rest in peace,
but during term time all they hear is the clatter of hundreds of pairs of high
school kids feet overhead. The ghosts egged on by their spooky ringleader,
Edith Codd decide to get their own back, and theyre willing to play dirty.
Really dirty. They swarm into the St Sebastians sewer system and start to kick
up a stink the only way they know how. Popping up through pipes and taps, they
invade the school, morphing into monsters and zombies, performing possessions
and hauntings, and generally causing as much mischief as in inhumanly possible.
But the ghosts havent reckoned on a new kid and his mates in year seven. Can
James and his friends get to the bottom of the problem and flush out the
ghosts, or will every terms at St Sebastians be plagued with misery?
