Even as an adult I was taken in, eager to read on to have the mystery revealed." ~ShelleLP "...These books are stand-alone adventures, but readers are likely to be hooked on the series after reading any one of them." ~Barbara Ann Mojica, author, Little Miss History series, and Top Contributor, Amazon Children's Books Reviews "This is a book that you can't put down until you get to the last page! My children loved it too! Because of the 'ghost town' theme, it is geared towards an older child's audience (3rd grade and up) compared to the early Rosco the Rascal books (ex. Pumpkin Patch). All of Shana Gorian's books are fabulous, this one is superb!" ~hulagirl "With excitement at every turn, this chapter book will have kids eagerly turning the pages to find out what happens next.
