Warm-hearted, witty and achingly lovely
Ever since Zippel, the real-life keyhole ghost, moved into Paul’s bedroom, every day has been a barrel of laughs. This time, Zippel has decided that he would like to celebrate his birthday for the first time – that’s when you get presents, after all! He chooses the 51st of Kalember as his new birthday, which just happens to be the very next day. The little ghost’s biggest birthday wish is to ride on the ghost train…
But soon disaster strikes: Zippel suddenly disappears into the darkness of the ghost train, nowhere to be found. It must be the fault of one of those pesky “addaults”! Paul has to do everything he can to save his beloved Zippel, with this mission leading to a tremendous adventure.
