Ghosthunters and the Incredibly Revolting Ghost! by Cornelia Funke

This is the first book in series, and I gave it a rating of three out of five. Ten-year-old Tom discovers a ghost in the basement of his apartment building, but it's only an ARG, an averagely spooky ghost. He enlists the help of his grandmother's friend, and they must tackle an IRG to solve their ghost problem. They gather their graveyard dirt, violet perfume, and mirrors to combat the creature.

This is a humorous, entertaining book. The conflict and details regarding the ghosts are amusing, but this book is definitely not a classic must-read. However, this book may catch your fancy if you're looking for something quick and easy to read.
