From the New York Times bestselling author of Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library comes a series of spine-tingling mysteries to keep you up long after the lights go out. Halloween is nearing, the one day of the year when the ghostly plane is close enough to the human plane to allow mischief and mayhem. But the ghosts who have their eye on Zack aren't thinking mischief, they are thinking murder. In this fourth volume of Chris Grabenstein's popular Haunted Mysteries series, Zack must once again do battle with malevolent spirits. And with his usual pluck, and the assistance of three dotty aunts, he must save his town from a 200-year-old threat. Once again Chris Grabenstein proves his mastery of the frightening and funny tale. Young readers, especially reluctant ones, have found an inspiration to read in Grabenstein's quirky characters and deadly situations.

great book
Well-written, suspenseful, fast-paced. Great read for middle graders or those who love a good, creepy read. Looking forward to more in the series.

Another well-written spooky tale
Every single book he's written is fantastic! Even the haunted tales have a few funny parts. They can get gory but that's what this genre is all about.

Good Series
My daughter enjoys this series. She is in 7th grade and it seems to be a bit below her reading level (not by much) but she likes the creepy story line.
