Gr 2—3—Bauer takes readers on an exciting fantasy mystery. Friends Delsie and Todd are bored over Labor Day weekend until they sneak inside an empty house and discover that something strange is going on. As the plot unravels, Delsie, who has always wanted a dog, feels and eventually sees a canine ghost. From that point on, readers will be kept on the edge of their seats. Ferguson's charcoal illustrations bring an old-fashioned charm to this easy chapter book.—Nancy Mackenzie, Ithan Elementary School Library, Bryn Mawr, PA
When Delsie and her friend Todd explore an abandoned house near an old mill, Delsie discovers a golden ghost dog that she can see, but Todd can't. Quick-paced and full of suspense, Bauer's latest chapter-book mystery moves smoothly from present to past. Ferguson's black-and-white illustrations punctuate key points in the text.
