Publisher Description

It’s an icky, sticky situation… Look out for ghost goo! Dripping sticky green slime wherever it goes, an “ASG” (that’s Averagely Spooky Ghost) is hiding out in Tom’s cellar. Why? Because it’s being haunted, too — by a much bigger, way badder Incredibly Revolting Ghost (“IRG,” for anyone new to ghouls). And the IRG is the kind of ghost that uses its head — as a ginormous bellowing bowling ball, gross! Good thing for Tom his grandma’s best friend just happens to be a world-famous ghosthunter…

"A nice little book. I got the second one as a small Halloween present so I bought this one on my Nook. It only took me a about three hours to read. I liked it. The characters were humorous and imaginative. I can't say much about it. It was a pretty basic story. time to crack open book two."

    " J. K. Rowling has nothing on Cornelia Funke. This is another good series from the creator of Inkheart. It has a predictable plot (good for early readers) and some very original characters. "
