Can the Beacon Street Girls' magic act bring the house down at Abigail Adams Junior High's talent show?

C. Funke – Ghosthunters and the Muddy Monster of Doom!
To earn his Ghosthunting Diploma, Tom’s got to nab a deadly 12th Messenger. But while on the hunt in the haunted town of Bogpool, Tom stumbles into the mucked-up lair of a mud-loving minotaur who has an entire army of ghosts at his command.

C. Funke – Ghosthunters and the Totally Moldy Baroness!
Horrifying things are happening at Gloomsburg Castle. To begin with, the creepy place is crawling with Tiny Biting Ghosts (or “TIBIGS”, in official ghosthunter code). And now it appears as if the murderous spirit of a brutal Baroness has taken hold of the landlady, infecting her with a killer case of hic-hic-hiccups!
Of course Hugo the Averagely Spooky Ghost is instantly smitten with Her Hideous Highness, only to find out that love stinks! And it smells something awful, too. Looks like the time has come for Tom to put an end to the “foul” play and concoct a plan that will dispel this decaying royal for good.
C. Funke – Ghosthunters and the Gruesome Invincible Lightning Ghost!
Boy hero Tom, Hugo the Averagely Spooky Ghost, and famed ghoul hunter Hetty Hyssop have formed an agency dedicated to dealing with difficult apparitions. No spook can defeat them, until their too close encounter with a Gruesome Invincible Lightning Ghost (or “GILIG” in ghosthunter-speak).
This superheated specter has taken over the penthouse suite of a beach-front hotel, where it’s passing its eternal vacation by turning guests into ghosts themselves!
Maybe Hugo’s slime can douse the flaming phantom, or maybe the ghosterhunters’ plan is doomed to go up in smoke…Get scared silly!
