In this Short Story Reader, titled Haunted Caboose, two adventurous friends decide it would be fun to spend a night in an old abandoned caboose whose dilapidated condition had garnered many ghost stories from the local residents. Intrigued by the stories they have heard about this particular caboose, they set out on a daring adventure to explore the truth about this old 'crummy' (a word used by railroad workers to describe a broken-down and dirty caboose) and the tales perpetuated by superstitious railroad workers who refused to ride inside it. What happens during that night provides the two friends with an eye-opening lesson about ghost stories. A Reading Certificate is awarded to kids upon submission of a fun quiz to Sinterklass & Company. For all reading levels 8 to 12.
