Woof! Woof!”
“Cosmo! No!” Kaz grabbed Cosmo about a second and a half before he passed through the craft-room window and into the Outside. Kaz peered out the window. He didn’t see what his dog was all excited about.
“You can’t go into the Outside,” Kaz scolded. “What are you thinking?”
Cosmo lowered his eyes. His tail drooped.
“He’s a dog, Kaz,” Claire said, glancing up from her homework. “He doesn’t know it’s dangerous for ghosts to be outside.” Claire reached out to pet Cosmo. But Claire was a solid, so her hand passed through him.
“He should know,” Kaz said, holding his dog tight against his chest. “He’s seen what happens when ghosts go into the Outside.”
Kaz and Cosmo used to live in an old schoolhouse with Kaz’s mom and dad; his grandmom and grandpop; his little brother, Little John; and his big brother, Finn. Finn liked to stick his arm or leg through the wall to the Outside just to scare Kaz and Little John. But one day when the ghost boys were playing Keep Away, Finn stuck his head a little too far through the wall, and his whole body was pullllled into the Outside. Grandmom and Grandpop tried to rescue Finn, but they ended up in the Outside, too. And they all blew away.
“Plus, Cosmo has been in the Outside himself, too,” Kaz reminded Claire.
Last summer some solids came to the old schoolhouse with their big trucks and their wrecking ball. They destroyed the old schoolhouse, and the rest of Kaz’s family was forced into the Outside. Like Finn, Grandmom, and Grandpop, they were all scattered in the wind. Kaz ended up here at the library. He felt lucky to have found Cosmo a few weeks ago when he and Claire were out solving a ghostly mystery. He hadn’t seen anyone else in his family for so long.
Now Cosmo wiggled and squirmed in Kaz’s arms. Kaz hugged him even harder.
“I don’t think your dog likes to be held so tight, Kaz,” Beckett said. Beckett was the other ghost who lived at the library. He’d been here way longer than Kaz had.
Kaz loosened his grip on Cosmo, and the ghost dog pawed his way out of Kaz’s arms. He paddled right back toward the window.
Kaz sighed. What is out there? he wondered. Cosmo had never been so interested in the Outside before.
“Claire, could you please close that shade?” Kaz asked, grabbing his dog again. “If Cosmo can’t see what’s out there, then maybe he’ll settle down.”
“Why don’t you close the shade, Kaz?” Beckett said.
“I can’t,” Kaz said. And Beckett knew he couldn’t.
Kaz simply didn’t have the skills that other ghosts did. He was working on them. Really, he was. But ghost skills were hard. And he didn’t like to practice. What ghost did?
“How do you know you can’t close that shade?” Beckett asked. “Have you tried?”
“That’s right, Kaz,” Claire said. “Now that you can pick up solid objects, maybe you can pull the shade.”
Kaz had only just learned to pick up solid objects. He still wasn’t very good at it. And picking up a solid object wasn’t the same as pulling on a shade and making it move.
But he was willing to give it a try.
With one arm wrapped firmly around Cosmo, Kaz grabbed the shade with his other hand and pullllled it down.
The shade didn’t move.
“Squeeze it harder,” Claire suggested.
Kaz squeezed harder, but his thumb passed through the shade.
Claire went over and yanked on the shade. Cosmo let out a low groan as it came down over the window.
“Now you can be free,” Kaz said as he opened his arms and released his dog.
Beckett clucked his tongue. “How will Kaz learn to do things for himself if you do everything for him?” he asked Claire.

A good book for young readers By Kathleen Ritter This is one in a series of Haunted Library books by Dori Hillestad Butler, so kids who like the characters can find more to read. This is a book for independent readers, and it does a good job of introducing new vocabulary words by making them funny things a ghost would do. The author also gives children permission to make up their own silly words like “skizzy.” The ghosts in this book, a little boy named Kaz and his dog Cosmo, are the friendly type, and they help their “solid” friend Claire solve mysteries. Claire is a smart, strong girl role model. She specializes in solving ghost mysteries, and her latest case involves a ghost who appears every day at five o’clock. Will Claire and Kaz find the ghost who is scaring this family at 5:00? Check out this book to see.

Not only are they easy to read but the mysteries are interesting and the characters fun. I was a bit startled when I thought I'd figured out the answer to the mystery of the strange occurrences of five o'clock and I turned out to be wrong. Usually with this type of mystery I'm able to figure out the answer long before the ending, but here it turned out to be something else. Those kind of surprises are always fun. Plus, it's fun watching Kaz grow into his ghostly powers as he continues to search for his missing family.

My 3rd grade son loves this series By Amazon Customer This series of books is fun and keeps you wanting to know more about what is going to happen next. They turned to my son from the standard reader to a kid who really enjoys reading and looks forward to the next book! The series has AR numbers and runs between 11000 and 14000 words per book. It made it quick for him to add up his numbers in his third grade class
