I So Don't Do Spooky by Barrie Summy

Reviewed by Stacia M.

Sherry has another mystery! Her stepmom, AKA The Ruler, has a stalker. Sherry and her ghost mom try to solve the mystery, but when the stalker starts leaving clues that just don't seem to fit together, they both start wondering--will we ever catch him?

Sherry's mom is a ghost. Her mom was a cop and got killed on the job the year before. But they she came back to talk to Sherry and help with the mystery of The Ruler's stalker. If Sherry and her mom solve the mystery, her mom can come back into human form for five minutes.

My favorite character in the book is Sherry. She's very curious and determined. For example, every time a clue was set and discovered, she wondered about it and tried harder and harder [to figure it out]. She wouldn't rest until the mystery was solved. She wanted her mom to return for five minutes so badly.

I would definitely recommend I So Don't Do Spooky. The author's style in this book is a mix of a kid-friendly ghost story, some fiction, and some non-fiction.
