(2) 4-6 A group of fifth graders goes ghost-hunting and learns about the Spanish influenza after new-kid Henry reveals that his house is haunted. Narrator Barbara Anne takes charge of solving the mystery of young ghost Edgar, leading to answers (and minor disasters). Clever turns of phrase and Barbara Anne's limited sense of self-awareness make for an amusing narrative, while depictions of Edgar's presence deliver age-appropriate chills.
