Illustrated by
Barbara Scholz.
This volume includes two books about friends Max and Sophie, who take gardening jobs only to find out they're actually tending ghosts, not plants. The kids are a bit reluctant, holding back from adventure rather than diving in, and the plot lines may not grab readers' attentions. Some nicely inked black-and-white illustrations help display the action.
