I found this book fun and entertaining. The most fun was when
the twins put thumbtacks and butter on the stairs because the
ghost flames and panic. I found a very funny trick. Page 23.
It is a book from my point of view is easy to read, understand
what you want to explain.
It is a book that can appeal to people of my age.
The character that I liked have been the twins are so much fun.
