In The Proof That Ghosts Exist — the first installment in the Ghosthunters trilogy — Molly and Adam managed to save their father from a family curse, and near-certain death on the day before his 35th birthday. Or did they? An unfortunate “error” on their dad’s birth certificate means that he’s still at risk, and it’s up to Molly and Adam — and their ghostly grandfather — to keep him safe. But how are they going to manage that when he’s off to Palm Springs, California for a film festival? In Ghosthunters 2: The Curse of the Evening Eye, Molly and Adam take the show (and grandpa) on the road as they attempt to outwit a very nasty spirit. Along the way, they’ll need to rely on a few kindly ghosts, as well as a Reggie Crankshaft look-alike who knows more than he should about their family history. Picking up where The Proof That Ghosts Exist leaves off, The Curse of the Evening Eye is another gangbusters spook story complete with the authors’ trademark chills, thrills, mysteries, and laughs.

Delorimier is home to baseball's Montreal Royals, and the team's star player is none other than Jackie Robinson! When Matt lands a job selling concessions in the stands, he finds himself with a front-row seat for all the excitement and controversy that follow Robinson as he strives to become the first African-American player to suit up in the majors. Along with new friends Rene and Guy, Matt meets Tyrone, an old ball player with a mysterious connection to Jackie. And then there's Dewey—a cub reporter who's trying to make a name for himself by telling Robinson's story.Montreal, it turns out, is the perfect place to be in the summer of 1946. But will Matt realize that in time?

But when danger threatens Lawrence, both in the schoolyard and on the football field, the other students learn a few things about W. T. Zaraha, namely the true meaning of his nickname.

Grandfather’s creepy old desk and papers appear in Molly’s bedroom. A freak fall leaves Dad with a badly sprained ankle. Everyone blames Molly for the accident, saying she screamed for help while swimming in the lake, but Molly knows it never happened. Things go from bad to worse when a strange nurse named Reggie Crankshaft shows up out of the blue to offer his help. As Molly and Adam struggle to make sense of the odd events and figure out what really happened at the lake, their efforts to protect their father grow ever more desperate.
