5.0 out of 5 stars A very witty book for keeping readers interested., February 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mystery of the Pirate Ghost (Step-Into-Reading, Step 4) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent choice for a kid who can read, if only you could keep their attention long enough to want to know what the story is about. The adventure in this book, combined with sharp tongued characters and a really funny name - Captain _______ (Thought I was going to tell you? Buy the book!)

Sit down with your learning reader and have fun! A real winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kevin's Review of The Mystery of the Pirate Ghost, March 11, 2003

Kevin Bauer (Essexville, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Mystery of the Pirate Ghost (Step-Into-Reading, Step 4) (Paperback)

I've loved this book I've been a little kid, sitting in my bed, dreaming of being a pirate of some form or fashion. This is a children's book meant for a mixed audience. This book packs in an adventure big enough to be enjoyable even for an adult who wouldn't be uncomfortable with such a book in his or her hands. The book maintains a set line of humor throughout so one doesn't have to worry about being too frightened by the "Pirate Ghost". The writing style is interesting enough, and the humorous pictures are very satisfying to look at with this pleasant tale of a pirate mystery.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful mystery for young readers, April 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mystery of the Pirate Ghost (Step-Into-Reading, Step 4) (Paperback)

This story was my young child's first introduction to mysteries, and I haven't stopped reading it yet. It captured his interest quickly and kept him spellbound until the very end when the mystery is solved (with no violence or explosive action scenes). He still requests it, even though he knows the outcome, because he loves both the story and the charming characters. We plan to purchase the remaining Otto and Uncle Tooth books soon and hope they are as entertaining as this one.
