I just received this in our July book order. I was looking for some new beginning reader books. I like that this book promotes the library and reading as well as has quirky characters. I think children will enjoy it.

A great beginning reader for the "scary books" set. Dirk Bones is a skeleton reporter trying to solve the mysterious disappearance of books by Edgar Bleek, which have gone missing all over the town of Ghostly. The scariness is just there enough to give kids a thrill, the illustrations are bright and inviting and the sentences are simple enough for early readers, while sustaining a suspenseful and humorous plot.
