What
is your favorite kind of story? A ghost story? A funny story about modern
kids? A cool mystery? A story about pirates? A story with some crazy
characters? A school made from a 400-year-old castle?
Misty Gordon is the daughter of a rather weird father who drives an
old converted ice cream truck with the word "DEAD" painted
on the side. "DEAD" is the acronym for "Deceased Estate
and Antiques Dealer." (He
still hasn't figured out how to disconnect the speaker, so it still
plays the ice cream truck music.) When someone dies, Mr. Gordon purchases
the dead person's things.
Misty
sometimes go along with her dad and little brother just to see what
kind of treasures are in the old houses, but on one trip ... the one
to Fannie Belcher's house ... Misty gets more than she bargained for!
Would you believe, Fannie Belcher's diary? (If she can just CATCH it
every time it flies out of Fannie's desk!) And then, there's her old
timey telephone ... that sometimes actually RINGS even though it's not
connected! Her father brings Fanny's old tattered, molting mink coat
for her mother, but there's life in it, yet. Sort of.
Probably
the creepiest item from Fannie Belcher's house are her squinty-eyed
glasses. You won't believe what happens when Misty puts them on!
When
strange things begin to happen, Misty and her friend Yoshi investigate
and are shocked to find evidence of pirates, ghosts, and an evil plot
to kill and destroy!
This
story will become a favorite of avid readers and reluctant readers as
well! Its challenging vocabulary, descriptions, and figures of speech
will make teachers' mouths water, and the hysterical character and store
names will keep everyone rolling on the floor.

Kids' Wings literature guide invites group discussion, problem solving,
research, writing, skill building, and authentic writing prompts and
