(4) 1-3 Illustrated by David Roberts. The amiable ghosties return for another lightly macabre caper. The crew goes on a "holler-day" to Frighten-on-Sea, where they become embroiled in a mystery involving their missing friend, Headless Leslie; a haunted Victorian pier; and a menacing-looking ghost magician who's been wreaking havoc in the seaside town. The self-consciously quaint story's somewhat tortuous plot is buoyed by Roberts's pleasingly spindly, Gorey-esque line drawings.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by David Roberts. A group of "ghosties" try being friendly to the humans in their house but end up scaring them anyway. Each ghosty has a different power or ability, and together they work to peacefully co-exist with the rattled "still-alives." The book's quaint tone is forced and the plot is meandering, but the frequent black-and-white drawings are entertaining.

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by David Roberts. Detective Sensible Hare (whose "feet were as fast as kung fu") is approached by lovely Mazy Rabbit to help locate her missing carrot-filled suitcase. With the assistance of pal Ottoman Otter, Sensible is ultimately successful. In this offbeat noir story, the details are quirky (sometimes forcedly so) and the humor is frenetic. Tidy black-and-white drawings illustrate the goings-on.
