About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 2-4-- Howie Merton is a third grader who tells eerie stories about his ghost cat in order to scare children, especially girls. One day he meets a girl named Eddie, who is not only fearless but who also has a story of her own to tell. She promises Howie some magic dust if he does everything she says for one month. He complies to her every request and hopes that she will keep her end of the bargain. Black-and-white cartoons humorously convey the action. However, Howie often daydreams and youngsters will find themselves rereading passages to clarify what really happens and what is just wishful thinking. A supplemental purchase where easy chapter books are always in demand. --Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA
