Description
Kids encounter all kinds of animal ghosts in this spirited debut volume. Some involve pets, others involve wild animals, but all are based on fact and very, very scary! When a fishtank comes mysteriously to life, a boy struggles to convince his parents of the danger... The ghost of a dead puppy reminds a preteen of her special childhood bond... While on a European tour, a group of foolhardy kids chide the locals for their superstitions--only to be attacked by a swarm of ghostly birds of prey...
