Honk!

Ghost Detectors #8

by Dotti Enderle, Howard McWilliam (Illustrator)

Bus 445 has a mind of its own, it honks for no reason! Is it a malfunction or a malicious ghost? Malcolm and Dandy open an investigation that has them colliding with a spiteful spirit. But can they steer him away from his mission of revenge? Their runaway adventure brings the reader along for a bumpy ride.

About the author

I'm the author of literally (get it) dozens of books for children.

Born in Killeen, Texas on a cold January day in 1954. My family moved around a lot, allowing me to, over the years, live on a farm, in an historic home and always near rivers or bayous. My playthings were hula-hoops, old typewriters and a wooden leg named Charlie. (Yep, you read that right.) If you want a true glimpse of my childhood dreams, read my novel, Man in the Moon. The character Janine allows you inside my young mixed-up mind.

I’ve lived most of my life in Houston and still live there today. You’ll find me here reading, writing and smiling.

These books are funny (lots of good lines and quotes), but sometimes rather predictable. This is one of the more predictable ones.

Quick, fast paced read for 2nd & 3rd graders. It's also a part of the Ghost Detectors series and might be a nice choice instead of Goosebumps.

Parker got this book from the school library, I read it so I could know what the story was about and found it was really funny!!
