While their father is on a book tour of the United Kingdom, Theresa and her brother Joey, find themselves in London, England with their British friend Kerry. In a city with as much history as London, they expect to spot a ghost or two, especially in places with a bloody past like the Tower of London. What they don’t expect is to be confronted by the ghosts of two young murdered princes with an urgent request. They want the kids to find their hidden five-hundred-year-old remains and have their bones buried at Westminster Abbey where they belong.
Unable to resist a ghostly murder mystery, the Ghosters kids delve into the deep dark history of the British royalty as they search for clues. Of course, they can't avoid finding a lot of spirit helpers along the way. Who knew England has so many helpful ghosts?
Can three kids and their ghostly friends solve a centuries-old unsolved crime that rocked merry old England? Jump on a double-decker bus with Theresa, Joey, and Kerry as they tackle their most difficult and daring ghost hunt yet.
“This is a great book to read with your tweener or younger sophisticated child. It is filled with elements that are sure to broaden a young mind, in knowledge and possibilities, the best part? They’ll just think it is F-U-N. As a mother who enjoyed reading with my son when he was young, I wish this fun book had been around then.” — Maria Catalina Egan, Defining Ways
“Oh how I wish this book existed when I was in middle school! While the children’s horror genre seems to be dominated by R.L. Stine (nothing wrong with that, I’m a huge fan), Diana Corbitt offers a fresh set of characters to children searching for a fright. Kerry, Theresa, and Joey are people I would have loved to befriend as a child, it was so fun having the opportunity to ghost hunt with them for a while.” — thebibliophagist.org
“Until I read Scary Stories for Young Foxes and now Ghosters 3, I had no idea middle grade horror was so effective. I loved being scared when I was a kid, and though Ghosters 3 emphasizes teamwork, inclusiveness, and adventure, there are also scary and tense moments kids (and adults) will enjoy.” — Richard Leis, Book Reviews
“Trying to think back to what I was reading in elementary school and middle school, it is safe to say it was not this book. This book would have rocked my world, but I couldn’t find anything like it when I was growing up. I wish I had access to this book and this series. It was perfect for my nerdy self. These kids were wholesome, smart, and just kids I would have gone wild over as a kid. These are the sorts of heroes I want in books.” — Review, MI Book Reviews
"It’s a really fun story of a group of close friends working together to solve problems. While I don’t have any children to read the book with, I enjoyed the adventures of Kerry and her friends. I think this would be a great fall parent child read." -- by Sherry Rehbock, The Book Review Crew

Publication Date: October 2019
Diana Corbitt is a retired elementary school teacher who has lived her entire life in northern California. She has two sons who, although grown up and out of the house, still live nearby. Ever since she was a kid she loved to be scared, either by movies or books. She started writing her first story in sixth grade. That one never got past six pages, but now that she’s retired she can’t stop writing. Her work has appeared in Bewildering Stories and Encounters Magazine. She had a podcast on Manor House and one of her short stories was published in an anthology entitled Wax and Wane: A Gathering of Witch Tales. When she’s not trying to scare herself silly, Diana enjoys working with stained glass, travel, and going to the movies. They don’t all have to be scary. Just not chick flicks.
