Title: Mostly Ghostly: Who Let the Ghost Out?
Author: R.L. Stine

Publisher: Delacorte Press
Number of Pages: 129

The book "Mostly Ghostly Who Let the Ghosts Out" is about a boy named Max. He finds himself haunted by the friendly ghost of two children named Buster and Joey while being chased by an evil spirit named Phears.

I would recommend this book to third through sixth graders because it is scary, exciting, funny and will keep their interests.
My favorite part of Mostly Ghostly is when Phears gets shrunk by a stage light and Joey eats him to get rid of him. That part was very funny. My least favorite part was when the cockroach was spitting slime balls everywhere and melting everything that it touched. I think that was very nasty.
