Super Sandcastle: Biggest, Baddest Books series.
"Abraham Lincoln's ghost haunts the White House." This book treats its subject as fact, concluding "no one knows for sure" whether or not ghosts are real. Like other books in the series, this entry offers random statements about ghosts and haunted places. Color photographs, many enhanced with spooky effects, are accompanied by a captionlike text. This book is best for browsing. Glos.
