(3) K-3 I Can Read Book series. The town of Ghostly is home to a variety of friendly supernatural citizens, including skeleton investigator Dirk Bones. After books start disappearing from the library, Dirk discovers that Lenore, a giant talking vine, has "borrowed" them to read to her children. The solution? Get Lenore a library card. Cushman's tale, an unabashed plug for reading, is entertaining light fare for beginning readers.
