Like every book in the series, the adventure blends spooky fun with STEM learning, encouraging children to ask questions, test ideas and look for evidence rather than simply fear the unknown. It is a story designed to be read aloud at bedtime, shared in the classroom or devoured by confident young readers on their own.

"Halloween is the perfect time to show children that being brave and being curious go hand in hand," said Matthew Newnham. "Fred doesn't run from the ghostly cries. He investigates them. That's the Space Ranger Fred way, and I hope this book gives families and teachers a thrilling, slightly spooky way to talk about science."

Book signings and signed copies
Matthew will be signing copies at an official Halloween launch event on Saturday 31 October at The Orchards Shopping Centre, Haywards Heath, with signing sessions at 1pm and 3pm. Signed copies are also available to order for readers anywhere in the world.
