Casebusters

A book that I have recently read was titled,"Casebusters." There are several of these books, but each of them have different series. The serie that I read was,"Backstage with a Ghost". This is a fiction book by Joan Lowery Nixon and illustrated by Kathleen Collins Howell. Casebusters would really be a good book for a 4th or 5th grader who likes to read mystery books. This book was very interesting.Itwas about 4 kids and a woman trying to solve a mystery in their neighborhood theatre. Their names were Brian, Sean, Sam, Debbie, and Miss Beezly. In this book Brian and Sean were brothers. Their father was an investigator named Mr. Quinn. Mr. Quinn was hired by Mr. Marconi who was a developer that wanted to tear down the theatre for a supermall to solve a mystery at the Culbertson Theatre. One of Mr. Marconi's inspectors were on stage in the theatre when a sandbag fell and damaged his shoulder,so that's why Mr. Marconi called Mr. Quinn's called Mr. Quinn. Sean, Mr. Mr. Quinn's son heard about many other accidents that had occured at the theatre. When the kids first met Miss Beezly she talked about a guy who was an actor at the theatre named Horatio Hamilton and years later he died. Miss Beezly believed that he stayed in the theatre, but it wasn't him who was causing trouble. The children plus Miss Beezly went inside of the theatre many times to try and figure out what caused the accidents. The 2nd time that they went into the theatre, there was a strange ghost who had scared them off. The kids thought that it could be Horatio Hamilton but Miss Beezly just knew that it wasn't him. Since they couldn't figure out the mystery Miss Beezly got Mr. Peabody who was a caretaker at the theatre to help with the mystery. Read this book and go through the adventures with Sean, Brian, Sam, Debbie, Miss Beezly and Mr. Peabody and find out what and who caused these accidents.
