The Mystery of the Haunted Farm

Gr 1–3—Something is terribly wrong on Farmer Greg's farm, and he is really spooked. He calls the Ghost-Hunters to visit the farm and take a look around. When they arrive, the scene is like nothing they have seen before. There are dozens of zombie ducks, ghosts, bats, and more. However, nothing is registering on the Ghost-Hunters' paranormal activity meter. Why could this be? Just as the Ghost-Hunters think they have gotten to the bottom of the story, something shocking happens to Farmer Greg that changes the way the farm runs forever. There is a lot for readers to see and absorb. More suited as an independent read, this picture book contains speech bubbles and detail galore for kids to explore. Sitting down with this volume will be an exciting and entertaining reading experience. It's not a title to breeze through, but readers will remain engaged from start to finish. The mixed-media cartoon illustrations are colorful and fill the page. The text and pictures complement each other nicely, and the speech bubbles give important clues as to what is really going on. While the pictures make this look like a Halloween title, this selection can be enjoyed year-round.
