Madeline and her friend Pepito find and return a telescope belonging to the ghost who lives in the school attic. The story offers much to fans: well-known characters, a mystery, a ghost, and recognizable illustrations and rhymes. The plot won't win converts to the original tales by the author-illustrator's grandfather, but this will satisfy those seeking familiarity.
