Thea Stilton and the Ghost of the Shipwreck

It adds such a fun sense of mystery and danger. I'm curious whether the author based it on a real legend or just created it from imagination.

The ghost's antics made the story lighthearted and fun, but I wonder if younger readers might find it less frightening and more charming.

The mix of ghostly mysteries and themes of courage really stood out to me. Did the author intend to show that facing fears can be a fun adventure?
