Dee is working at the haunted Howl Castle! She loves learning to be a tour guide at first, but her suspicious, micro-managing boss Ms Prowl and her super-sly assistant Beak soon squish the fun out of it. Ms Prowl hates new ideas, and Dee’s sure that sneaky Beak is spying on her. Will Dee get to run the castle’s spooky sleepover her way? Maybe, help from Flee and his new ghostie friend but is there another sly spy out to spoil Dee’s exciting plans?
MY REVIEW
Dee and Flee are one of my favourite children’s series. I have only read a few of them, but Dee and Flee at the Haunted Castle is my top favourite, I think because this is set in a castle with ghostly things happening. Dee and Flee are best friends who like doing things together. Dee is a dog, Flee is a Flee named Flee. Dee is working at Howl Castle as a tour guide. Mr Beak who works at the castle, is spying on Dee for the boss, Ms Prowl. Dee has an idea for a sleepover event at the castle for guests. But the boss, Ms Prowl wants to run the sleepover. Dee knows Ms Prowl will get Mr Beak to keep spying on Dee. With the help of Dee’s best friend Flee, she can count on Flee for help, to stop Mr Beak spying on her, and to make sure that Dee will get to run the sleepover event. Who will win this battle to be run the sleepover, guest? Will it be Dee, or Ms Prowl? The book series about Dee and Flee are fantastic for 5-7- Year-olds
