I know this is a kids book, but after listening to the "Amerigo" audiobook, this is a welcome distraction. Apart from the loose, detail lacking narrative, the book is fairly good. It was a quick read. ( ) This is a good book (the first of a series) for elementary boys looking for a spooky story. There are occasional pictures, with relatively easy vocabulary- although some sophisticated words are thrown in. This story follows an 8 year old boy as he discovers a ghost hiding in his family's cellar. This ghost however is hiding from an even scarier ghost that took over the ghost's home where he had been haunting for many years. Tom gets help from his Grandma's friend, a professional ghost hunter, and they set out to get ride of the ghosts all together. At the end of the novel, there are reference pages about how to deal with different kinds of ghosts- cute and very imaginative. Erst einmal ein grosses Kompliment an Monty Arnold. Die Umsetzung der Geschichten der Gespensterjäger ist ihm einfach vorzüglich gelungen. Die Art und Weise wie er Tom, Frau Kümmelsaft und Hugo zum Leben erwachen lässt ist einfach herrlich. Vor allem Dingen die Umsetzung von Hugo ist einfach genial. Mein Sohn hat alle 4 Geschichten als Hörbuch und dieser erste Band ist sein Lieblingsband. Die Geschichte ist spannend, gruselig (aber nicht so gruselig das man Angst bekommt) und sehr lustig. Das liebenswerte und freche Gespenst Hugo hat es meinem Sohn besonders angetan. Es macht Spass mit zuerleben wie aus dem schüchternen und unscheinbaren Tom, mit Hilfe der schrulligen Frau Kümmelsaft und Hugo, ein selbstbewusster und einfallsreicher Gespensterjäger wird. In den folgenden Büchern wird er sogar schon ein bischen arrogant und ist sehr von seinen Fähigkeiten überzeugt. Die schrullige und ältere Dame Frau Kümmelsaft ist einfach cool. Mit Ihren ganzen Beschreibungen der unterschiedlichen Arten von Gespenstern und Ihren unmöglichen Erfindungen. Diese Bücherserie macht sogar einem Erwachsenen Spass Kearsten says: This is a good book for younger readers - maybe 2nd-3rd grade. Tom is terrified of the ghost in his cellar at first, but gains courage when he decides to help the ghost get its original home back from a bigger bully of a ghost. An experienced ghost hunter (a friend of Tom's grandmother) gives him some pointers, and together they take on an incredibly revolting ghost. This was fun and silly, and would have great appeal to young boys. The audiobook's narrator, John Beach, did a nice job, especially on the ghosts' voices. Recommended! no reviews | add a review
