description: The Boggart is homesick for his drafty old castle home!In a tumbledown castle in the Western Highlands of Scotland lives the Boggart. He is invisible — an ancient mischievous spirit, solitary and sly. Life for the Boggart is wonderful, full of games and trickery. But the last Scottish owner has died and left the castle to his great-nephew. The Vonik family — including Emily and her nine-year-old computer-genius brother Jessup — visit Castle Keep, and when they return home to Canada, they unwittingly take the Boggart with them.The Boggart quickly discovers that the modern world is no place for a spirit as ancient as he is. The collision of up-to-date technology and the Old Magic brings perils nobody could have imagined. Can a Boggart who has found himself on the wrong side of the ocean ever find happiness again?
