I adored this book when I was younger, so when I saw it again I picked it up to see if it was as good as I'd remembered. And I think it was, though obviously it caters more to the 8-12 year old crowd.

In lieu of reviewing all the Bruce Coville books I read as a kid/young adult I'll write one here for one of my favorite books from fourth grade.

Jane in 4th Grades writes, "It was a book filled with mystery, friendship, and treasure!!"
I absolutely loved Nine's ghost adventures! This is one of my favorite books from Bruce Coville! :)
Love it! One of my middle school favorites.
We read this book in school last year and it was REALLY GOOD! You should read it and the other ones in the series!
This is one of the many, many books I read while going through physical therapy for JRA in my 5th-6th grade years.
This was the first "chapter book" i ever read. When I was 5. Haha. Awesome.
After more then 10 years, I still love this book.
