1-3Ghost and Max Monroe series.
Illustrated by
Kim Smith.
During a stay with his grandpa Harry, Max Monroe discovers that Great-Uncle Larry was a detective who died having never solved a case. When a birthday girl disappears in the magician's box at her party, Max and ghost Larry step up to solve the case. Slow pacing hinders the quirky supernatural detective story, but silly black-and-white illustrations complement the text.
