Billy is a ten year old boy, who just moved to a town called Sunshine (but to Billy it wasn’t exciting because he had no friends).
Billy lives in a house, well an old castle to be precise. It’s been abandoned for years because it has been HAUNTED!!! But not now. The castle had grey bricks and a creaky door.
One ordinary day, Billy went to the attic and saw a ghost dog. The ghost dog said, “Do you want to be friends?”
Billy said, “Sure.”
The ghost dog taught Billy how to fit in.
The next day Billy fits in and has friends!
