(4) 4-6 Crawling through the ventilation shafts of his apartment building, twelve-year-old David encounters the ghost of a boy, who encourages him to harass elderly Mr. Alveston. After being caught and punished, David becomes friends with Mr. Alveston and helps figure out the identity of the ghost. Though the plot is choppy, the supernatural aspects of the story will engage readers.
