 Rating:  - Great BOOKI loved this book as a kid. I'm 27 today, and I don't smoke. However I do use the word "fool" quite often, so I guess this book damaged me forever. It was written before focus group idiots watered down everything. That was when cartoons were violent and funny. But focus groups saved us from that! Now instead of smoking kids of this new generation just mow each other down with machine guns in schools across the nation. Way to go focus groups! this book was great. IT's got a good ...

The book maintains a set line of humor throughout so one doesn't have to worry about being too frightened by the "Pirate Ghost". The writing style is interesting enough, and the humorous ... Read More Rating: - The Mystery of the Pirate GhostThis book I thought was great. I would recommend this book to any kid that has a good imagination and that wants to know everything. This book would be great for kid imagination and would get it going because the book keeps you going until the end where it finally shows you the culprit. Let me tell you some about the book without ruining it for you. It's about this kid named Otto that has an uncle that has been around a lot and has been on lots of trips and adventures. Now this "ghost" has been on the ... Read More
