What is Spooks away about?

Spooker returns to Anne Boleyn Secondary School hoping for a peaceful new year now that the wicked Sir Rupert has gone. Instead, a residential trip to a remote Scottish castle soon becomes unsettling. While the pupils film a video about the school’s new approach to haunting, strange events suggest that the ghosts are being haunted themselves. Then American visitors arrive, planning a celebrity wedding at the castle. With mysteries piling up, Spooker must discover who—or what—is causing the chaos.
