The Devil, the Banshee and Me by L.M. Falcone

Will Trenom is suspicious of the mother and daughter who have moved into the old cottage in a cemetery across the street. For one thing, the girl, Megan, never comes outside. For another, Will hears screaming and crying in the cemetery. Then he sees a Banshee, a ghostly old woman who floats in the air outside the house and wails while combing her long grey hair. It turns out that the Banshee is after Megan – and the only way Will can save his new friend is by stealing the Banshee’s comb. Will he be able to outsmart the ghostly creature? Meanwhile, how can Will protect himself from Noah, a guest at his parents’ B&B? Noah says he is the Devil’s nephew – and proves it by making Will fly, float and perch on top of bookcases when he least expects it.
This fast-paced book combines the supernatural with zany, slapstick-like comedy. The plot twists, laughs and suspenseful moments will keep you turning the pages.

  2. It certainly seems like a creepy book. Without "spoiling" the end, could you write about a super scary part?
