Are there any more adventures? Oh yes! A whole new set of stories,called "The Ghosts in the Clock Walk Again", has been written about the Ghosts and the houses they once lived in. John discovers a book about the houses, with pictures in it showing what they looked like, and the ghosts find they can go into the pictures and show John around. Of course things go wrong - and once again a set of determined villains make an appearance. An exciting ending sees two genies, a magic carpet and a clock that becomes a rocket hurtling across the heavens.
