When he is hit in the head with a soccer ball, Duncan, who is completely convinced of his own coolness, develops the ability to see a wicked--and stinky--ghost. Getting rid of the ghost proves to require the help of Greg, a boy Duncan and his cool friend Markie have labeled a nerd. Vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot are all kept deliberately simple. A glossary, discussion questions, and writing prompts are included. The black and white illustrations are simple and amateurish; nonetheless, the spooky subject matter and low reading level will appeal to young readers looking for a good scare. They may be disappointed there, however, as the scare factor is low.

This book was a book about a boy who gets hit in the face and he fantes. When he finally gets back up he saw a ghost but nobody else can see the ghost. The ghost name was dean and he liked being a ghost. The ghost always said I will always haunt you.

another book that we got in for our junior high students with lower reading levels. it was a cute story and very quick. i do like that it has discussion questions in the back to help focus the kids reading.
