What a clever book! Rather than your typical chapter book, the author writes this story through dozens of letters between the characters, newspaper clippings, and IMing. The strangest part, is one of the people doing all this communicating is a ghost!
What a mystery writer experiences writers block, he decides to move into a summer rental to inspire him. In rushing through the paperwork, he comes to find that the house comes with a boy who he must take care of. Through a series of letters aback and forth, the boy mentions a ghost lives with them as well.
This story can be used in a writing project since it has models for letter writing (staying focused on the business at hand), as well as good tips for developing a character in a story.
