Welcome to another collection of humorous ghost stories by children¿s book author Raymond Bial, featuring the adventures of young teen Hank Cantrell and his fleet-of-foot, ¿fraidy-cat sidekick, Clifford Hopkins. Together, the two ghost magnets encounter a host of spooks, haunts, spectres, and just plain ornery folks who won¿t die and go away . . . until Hank works out a solution (assisted ¿ if that¿s the word ¿ by the big-talking, fainthearted Cliffie). The book picks up where two previous volumes of Hank & Clifford stories left off (The Ghost of Honeymoon Creek and The Fresh Grave & Other Ghostly Stories). Join the plucky fellows, and their sweethearts Rosie and Mary Ethel, as they scour the surroundings of mythical small-town Myrtleville, somewhere in the rural Midwest, for another round of humorous adventures . . . facing the ghosts of the past. Author Ray Bial is the acclaimed author of more than 100 books for children and adults, including many historical photodocumentary books such as Amish Home, The Underground Railroad, Where Lincoln Walked, Nauvoo, Ellis Island, and others. His previous ghost stories include The Fresh Grave, The Ghost of Honeymoon Creek, and Shadow Island. He lives in Urbana, Illinois.
