Wolfgang, a ghost, loves the meadow - he practices spooky things, but he also enjoys the beauty around him.  When is picked as the successor to the Mighty Hubert who haunted the Dark Castle for 1000 years, he leaves the non-spooky things behind.  The haunting goes well for a long time, but one day WOlfgang realizes that something is missing.

As a person who loves things a bit off the beaten path, I love Wolfgang's tale and his insight into what was missing. Of course you can see this as a Halloween book, but Wolfgang is more than that.
