What do you do when a ghostly elephant won’t leave you alone?

When a phantom elephant turns up uninvited and starts getting a little girl into trouble, she has no idea how to make him go away. But her grandmother happens to have a menagerie of phantom pets herself, so she knows just who to go to for help—the shopkeeper at Spectral & Son. He gives her a box. . . . Does it hold the solution?
Ross Collins grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, and won the Macmillan Children’s Book Prize while in college. He has gone on to win a Scottish Arts Council Award and was short-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal for The Elephantom.
