In The Proof that Ghosts Exist, Molly and Adam managed to save their father from a family curse and near-certain death on the day before his thirty-fifth birthday. Or did they” An unfortunate “error” on their dad's birth certificate means that he's still at risk, and it's up to Molly and Adam?and their ghostly grandfather?to keep him safe. But how are they going to manage that when he's off to Palm Springs, California, for a film festival”
In The Curse of the Evening Eye, Molly and Adam take the show (and grandpa) on the road as they attempt to outwit a very nasty spirit. Along the way, they?ll need to rely on a few kindly ghosts, as well as a Reggie Crankshaft look-alike who knows more than he should about their family history.
The Curse of the Evening Eye is another rip-roaring ghost story complete with chills, thrills, mysteries and laughs.
