Publisher's summary
Life on Earth can be an adventure, too. You just need to know where to look.
Bea, a resident of a retirement home, is being haunted by a ghostly nun. When Sarah Jane, Luke and Maria investigate, they're surprised to find that Bea has had just as many intergalactic adventures as Sarah Jane.
