The Ghost in the Third Row

The product was received in a timely manner. I would order again from the seller.

Excellent book that stands up over time

Many popular children's books are ridiculous if you go back and read them again as an adult. See, e.g., The Babysitter's Club series - I'm still slightly mortified that I wasted so much time on them. This book (and the others in the series) is different - the story is solid, and the writing is fresh and intelligent. I first read & loved this book when I was in 4th grade - nearly 20 years ago. I picked it up again earlier this year (I'm 29!) and loved it just as much. What makes the difference between this & other books is that Mr. Coville assumes his readers are intelligent - he doesn't write as though he's writing to children, he writes as though he's writing to people.

The Ghost in the Third Row

The Ghost in the Third Row was my true and faithful favorite from about 1st to 5th grade. I still pull it out and read it every so often. The characters are great; Chris and Nina, as well as the supporting cast, are real, funny and impossible to not fall in love with. Combining the theatre, ghosts, and mystery, it's just an all-round entertaining and quality read.

Been there

If my guess is correct I've been in the theater this book takes place i
