Honestly, if you wanted to convince me ghosts existed, this book would totally do the trick. The main character, Sherry Holmes Baldwin, has just finished her solving her first mystery with her ghost mom, then is called for yet another case. This one involves Sherry's stepmother, "the ruler" being stalked. Plenty of suspects are thoroughly checked, including a failing student ready to TP, and a ghost of the principal that used to be her boss, but of course some random person has to come out of th...more

This series is a fun, light read with a touch of spooky & a touch of romance, & should be right up the alley of your average tween girl. Sherry is a great character, & she's back to teaming up with her deceased mother's ghost, this time to solve a mystery that's a little close to home. The Ghost Academy has alerted Sherry, through her mother, that her new stepmother has a stalker that she doesn't know about yet. It's up to Sherry to both figure out who is threatening "the Ruler," as...more
Sherry has another mystery to solve with the help of her mom, who is a ghost, and her grandfather, who is a bird! Keeping with the fun title, Barrie writes with a believable and humorous first person voice. Someone is stalking the Ruler (her step mother) and Sherry has to solve the mystery to gain Real Time with her mom. Barrie's word choice kept me turning the pages to an emotional ending I wasn't prepared for. A must read if you are looking for a fun read with depth!
so cute! a great mystery/supernatural series for girls. Sherry is going through all the normal tween stuff, with the added twist of being able to sense ghosts- and her mom, who has passed, recruits her to solve mysteries as a "live" helper for the group of ghosts who protects humans and tries to get those who don't want to, to cross over. LOVE Sherry- and Summy's writing is crisp, funny, and spot on for the age group.
Sherry's mom is a ghost. And so is her grandfather. And her step-mother is being stalked by yet another ghost. Together the 3 of them, plus Sherry's best friend Junie and her too-good-to-be-true boyfriend, must figure out who the ghost-stalker is so that Sherry and her mom can have 5 minutes of "real time".
A fun read, but definitely no deep philosophical content here.

This is the second book in the series. The main character is Sherry, whose mother is ghost. Her best friend Junie gets involved a great deal in this book. It's a nice little mystery again with all the added things that young teen girls go through. I enjoyed this book. A good read for a young person.
This book was interesting, capturing, thrilling, sentimental, and amazing. Everything you could want a book to be. I loved this book but that's certainly expected since I love this series. But this book had a lot more to it and I felt that you could understand Sherry and Sam's relationship much better. It was definitely MORE than worth reading. Definitely read this book! I loved it!
I must have enjoyed the first book in this series eons ago to order this one. However, I found it dull going and gave up not too far in. Could my tastes have really changed that much to not like this??
So far this is turning out to be the year of did-not-finishes :(

this book is awesome. This is definitly on my favorite's list. Even though i didnt read the first book and i have the fourth one, it totlayy makes sense. It doesnt start off with the same thing as the first book, so if you like para normal books and mysteries. This is the book to read. Awesome book
Very funny asnd really good. I loved this book because on one hand, it's totally normal, and on the other hand, it's absolutely awesomely supernatural in a wonderful way. Sherry makes some amazing self sacrifices and grows up a little bit.
The wasn't a bad book. It's really sweet how she talks to her ghostly mom!! Her stepmom sounds nice but orderly and very very strict. It would embarrass me a whole lot to have my mom as a teacher at my school though. She's a strong girl.

Recommends it for:
Anyone in the mood for a fresh, fun take on "spooky". Ages 10 and up.
This book was just as fun and fresh as its predecessor, "I So Don't Do Mysteries". The mystery was even more interesting this time, with lots of plot twists. The ending was really touching. I got a little teary-eyed. I really enjoyed reading this book!

Barrie Summy went spookier that her last one. I guess thats way it's called I so don't Spooky. But I really loved this song! Can't wait to read the next one, I so don't do Makeup.
Wow! I love the adventures that Sherry takes while struggling to keep up with her adorable new boyfriend Josh Morton!!! It is a fun an adventurous book!
This book is a good book, its about a girl named Sherry who has a step mom that is also one of her teachers. The main problem is that she has a stalker and Sherry and her real mom are on a mission to find out who. They don`t have the best relationship but they are willing to do this together and find out who the stalker is. :)
This is a fun book that will have you laughing and crying. Sherry is a fun person who can talk to her mom, who's a ghost. She is asked to help find the person who is stalking her step mom and maybe get some "real time" with her mom.
