Ghost Attack (Monster Itch #1) (1)

Best book ever! My son checked this book our from his school's library and we loved it so much we were sad to return it! So we bought it! It was such a fun story to read and the end was our favorite part! We loved it so much we bought all the books in the series (all two of them)! Wish there were more!

Great Sunshine State Reader Book. I really liked it. It is a good story about the boy and a girl and that they can do anything.

This was such a great little story that I read with my son and daughter. They enjoyed it a lot.

David Lubar is known for his often wacky and offbeat sense of humor in books like Attack of the Vampire Weenies or Beware the Ninja Weenies. This time he has a chapter book perfect for middle grade readers who want fun with a little ghostly action and not too many pages. Monster Itch: Ghost Attack tells the story of Alex and his cousin Sarah as they visit their grandparents' new home. Alex's mom is a doctor, so she is extra careful of his health, but even she could never have imagined that Alex would develop allergies during his visit - allergies to ghosts! I have weekly allergy shots, so I know what living with allergies can be like. But poor Alex has it much worse than I do. When the ghost comes near him the symptoms begin, and before long his arms are "bathed in an itch so fierce it felt like I'd tried to embrace a bonfire." As it turns out, the ghost has a mystery that he needs help solving before he can rest in peace, so he has chosen Alex and Sarah to help find the truth. Their explorations take them around the house, into the barn, and even into town to visit the historical society. Can two kids really solve a bank robbery that happened long before they were born? Along with the humor and haunting, there are also some lessons to be learned about making assumptions and judging someone before you know all the facts. A quick, fun read.

Brought this book as part of my son reading list for the summer. I think he enjoyed it based on his little smiles when reading.

Fun book. It pulls you in. I am reading it to my 7 year old and I find myself reading ahead to the next chapter to see what happens next.

I like it because it is really interesting .Also,I never really had a big idea of what was going to happen.

Really cute book. My son is in the 3rd grade and it was appropriate for his reading level.

My son was eagerly waiting for the book
