What is Curse of the rat-beast about?

Charlie is a student at Spook School, where he learns to fly, walk through walls and move objects with his mind. As a new member of the Spook Squad, he is given a strange case to investigate: a rat that appears to grow into a huge, terrifying monster. Charlie and his friend Lewis suspect a ghost may be responsible, but the truth is far more surprising. Together, they must solve the mystery before the creature causes more trouble.
