Fun read with the kids. Cute story with a nice array of characters. Spookyish theme without being too gross or scary.

This was the series that got me into reading. I remember my dad came home and he said "I found a book you might like" and he gave it to me. I finished it in two hours and I was hooked. It took us months to find the second book, but I managed to read 3, 4 and 5 in that time, as they don't necessarily have to be read in order. This was the series that made me into the reader I am today, and I've been so happy as I've reread this first book.

Read most of this while hanging out with Remi in the kid's library today. (He got really engrossed with a Smurfs comic book, of all things). After reading this book, several Galaxy Zack books and an Ook and Gluk spinoff of Captain Underpants, I can only conclude that the majority of authors of modern early chapter books don't write women very well. Mothers are always fainting or doing the dishes; best friends who are girls are always wrestling with their fixations on romance and makeup. I can only imagine its worse in the girl-oriented books. Something should be done about this, by glob.

I read it in German language and I really had fun even though I'm 15 and this supposed to be for younger ages but I liked it very much :)

A very cute read about three young people that are joining up to complete a scavenger hunt to help one boy move his family out of town. Oh, and the kids are a warewolf, vampire, and mummy. A fun little twist on the monster theme!
