The ghost hunters
The children's book author Cornelia Funke has so far written four stories about the ghost hunters Hedwig Kümmelsaft, Tom Tomsky and Hugo MUG. The trio has to fight against some evil ghosts and uses weapons like mirrors, red paint, warmth, frosting, loud music, MUG slime etc. Apart from a few scary situations, the genre can be roughly assigned to humor and children's literature.

The ghost hunters on an icy trail
Tom, who is bullied by his older sister, meets Hugo, a MUG (mediocre weird ghost) in the house basement, whom he can drive away with Hedwig Kümmelsaft's tips. But then it turns out that Hugo was driven from his old home, a villa, by a UEG (Incredibly Disgusting Ghost). The ghost hunters now have to take on the icy ghost and risk their lives. In the end they defeat the UEG with the help of Mr. Lieblich's biscuit skills - and transform it into a tiny genie in a bottle.
The ghost hunters in the fire haunt
The three ghost hunters were actually supposed to drive a few small fire spirits out of a hotel, but in truth a terrible enemy is waiting for them: a GRUBLIGEI (Horribly Invincible Lightning Spirit), which ranks third among the five most dangerous ghosts in the world.
