      Gr 4-9-This collection of stories is based on case files from The Atlanta Paranormal Society, TAPS, founded by Hawes and Wilson. Each of the eight selections describes the sightings and paranormal activity from the perspective of the observer, then describes how members of TAPS researched, set up equipment, and discovered explanations for what happened. What causes pennies to appear in the bedroom of two boys? Who is the ghost on the water and why do some ghosts have no legs? These mysteries are unlocked as readers follow the ghost hunters on their quest for the truth. The stories have enough elements of the unknown to make them spine-tingling, but they are more mystery than horror. A ghost-hunt guide allows readers an opportunity to experience firsthand the process TAPS uses to solve their cases. Fans of the authors' Ghost Hunter TV series will find these stories equally if not more intriguing than the show. Those who are not familiar with the series will enjoy meeting the ghost hunters and learning how to use the equipment. The easy-to-read format and subject matter will keep even the most reluctant of readers interested.-Denise Moore, O'Gorman Junior High School, Sioux Falls, SD

      With Cameron Dokey. The founders of the Atlantic Paranormal Society (TAPS) and stars of reality show Ghost Hunters adapt case studies for middle-grade readers. Eight stories--suspenseful, but not too scary for this audience--feature a ghost child or a haunted youngster in addition to the all-adult TAPS team. An extensive "Ghost Hunt Guide" offers instructions for readers to investigate on their own.
