Robbie and Rebeka aren't like other kids. Sure, they run and play, and love their dog, Thatch. But, all three of them are ghosts. In 1942, they went canoeing on Kickingbird Lake and had an accident. They drowned. Since then, they've been hanging out at their old house on the lake. The lake has been turned into a tourist resort and their old home has been renovated to rent to tourists. The two kids get to work on their haunting skills as their house is invaded by a vacationing family of four, the Shook family. Soon, they are following the two kids, Kimmie and Scott, as they investigate the story of the twins drowning and find some lost treasures by the lake shore. Robbie and Rebeka still have a lot to learn about ways they can interact with the living, so it's a real adventure for them!
What a cute middle-grade ghost story! This was a fun and sweet quick read. The Mystery at Kickingbird Lake is actually the first book in a series of 8 in the Ghost Twins series. The book is age appropriate for 7-10 year olds and isn't scary. It's just a cute story about two kids who have been ghosts for 50 years!
Dian Curtis Regan is also the author of many middle-grade level books including the Princess Nevermore series and Monsters in the Attic.
This was a cute, fun book! I'm definitely going to read more of her books! I enjoy reading cute kids books in between serious adult reading. Very relaxing and enjoyable. It also lets me recommend good books to my grand-daughter! :) Scholastic publishes some of the best books for grade school age kids. I loved them when I was young. All my kids loved them. And now the grandkids are reading them. :)
