1-3Ghost and Max Monroe series.
Illustrated by
Kim Smith.
Max and his bumbling great-uncle Larry, a ghost, are back for another case--this one involving a giant veggie stolen from the fair. Chapters are subdivided with headings, and cartoonish black-and-white illustrations and large-font text are laid out nicely for new readers. Larry's frantic, easily distracted nature provides lots of laughs but sometimes interrupts the narrative flow of this accessible mystery.
