What is How to Speak Spook (and Stay Alive) about?

Ten-year-old Donald can see and talk to ghosts, but he keeps his talent secret from his mum, Alice, who thinks she is a gifted medium. Donald secretly solves the ghostly problems brought to her, while visiting his dad Larry, a responsible ghost. Then Donald notices that hours are vanishing from his evenings, and his friend Merry is affected too. As children across the country lose their time to a sinister supernatural force, Donald must uncover the truth before the haunting spreads.
