I think there was also a young boy involved who could speak to the ghost but I'm hazy on this. Apart from the ghost, from what I remember there weren't any other fantasy elements. I remember the ghost was quite grumpy in a comedic way. I read it in the 2000s. Think I would have read it in the second half of primary school. Fairly sure that the author was male. It seemed to be a fairly modern book at the time.

Do you remember the cover?
Part of a series?
Remember any other characters like family, friends, people that work at the store, etc?

So the cover was fairly cartoony in style and was purple and green in the main colours and it depicted the ghost. I'm afraid I remember little beyond this!

Yes!!!! That's it, thank you so much! Even just seeing the cover again makes me feel so nostalgic!
