The Poltergoose: A Jiggy McCue Story

132 pp. | Dutton | February, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46839-0 $$14.99
(4) 4-6 Young Jiggy McCue discovers he's being haunted by the ghost of a bad-tempered goose that was flattened by a bulldozer when Jiggy's new home was being built. Jiggy and his friends exhume the bird, reburying it in a location that will appease its spirit. Though essentially a one-joke story, the flippant first-person narration and humorous dialogue keep this English import moving at a smart pace.
