Another adorable, fun adventure. This one is a bit spooky with a nice mystery to solve. Great follow up to the first book. It continues the story, providing new mysteries and development of the overall plot, while still leaving some open ends to be discovered throughout the rest of the series.
The mystery itself was well done. Butler provides enough details (and Damant even slips a few in the illustrations) that readers can follow along and try to figure out who's behind the mysterious happenings. I tend to dislike mysteries where the author makes the reader dependent on them to solve the mystery. It's so much more fun to examine the clues and try to see where it's going. This one has a few twists and turns, but provides a manageable mystery for readers to try to keep up with.
Such a great idea for a series. Definitely enjoying it so far and am excited to read the next book.

This book has such a lovely and promising ending. I love the way Dori spreads out her content throughout the books so far. She's really good at keeping the series going. I'm enjoying this series so much right now I can't wait to read the next book. I have the next three books checked out from the library nearest to me this afternoon together with this one. And I already know one of my students' would love to read this series.

I love this series--I'm growing especially fond of Grandma Karen, the kindly librarian with the pink stripe in her hair who eventually fesses up that she was able to see ghosts as a young girl.
In this book, Kaz is reunited with his dog Cosmo (an exceptionally talented ghost) and Claire and Kaz solve their first ghost mystery as detective partners. Also, they discover that Kaz is able to travel outside of the library, as long as he rides in Claire's water bottle, a la I Dream of Jeanie.

This was an okay book. There was nothing that really made it stand out, but it was well-written enough. Unfortunately it just wasn't interesting enough to want to re-read. It was a push to finish it. Miss L completely zoned out on the last 4th.
