Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the short sentences, familiar words, and simple concepts of Level One books support success for children eager to start reading on their own. You'll join School Library Journal is welcoming this Level One I Can Read "to the primer shelves both at Halloween time and throughout the year."ĭirk Bones and the Mystery of the Haunted House is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.An exciting, gently spooky, and fun detective adventure! Jennifer MattsonĬopyright © American Library Association. The book doesn't expressly mention Halloween, but its setting will especially suit the witching time of year. Still, all but the most easily scared children will follow the manageable declarative sentences to the end, where a gently amusing resolution to the mystery awaits. Having said that, Cushman's bony hero isn't quite as winning his trenchcoat and rakish fedora never quite compensate for the vacant expression about his eye sockets. Young readers will relish both the carefully contained moments of tension and the contrasting elements of whimsy, as the town of Ghostly's ghoulish residents reveal unexpectedly benign natures. After a pair of spooked spooks report unusual noises coming from their cellar, Dirk Bones investigates, tracking the " clack, cluckity-cluck bing, blub, blub" to a surprising source. In what is presumably the first in a new I Can Read! series, a seasoned creator of easy-to-read mysteries introduces a skeleton investigative journalist.
