Jackson Jones And the Curse of the Outlaw Rose (2006)
Jackson Jones And the Curse of the Outlaw Rose
“They belong in dark mansions and crumbly castles. Not in a city garden. Halloween is ghost time. The other 364 days of the year, they should stay put.
Reuben and I checked out the Internet. We visited the library. We found lots of stories about ghosts. Mean ghosts and kind ghosts. Foggy ghosts you could see and chill-breeze ghosts that you couldn't. Some broke vases and pushed people. Some drifted up and down stairs. One smelled like lavender, another like paint.
There was nothing about haunted... plants. Or ghosts that liked to tend roses.
But one Friday after school we found a battered book with a brown cover at the library.
“It must be a hundred years old,” said Reuben, gently turning the brittle pages.
“Phew!” I held my nose. “Talk about musty.”
The book was full of the usual ghost stuff: ghost ships, ghost pirates, ghost ladies who wept. But it did have one important chapter: “How to Banish Ghosts.”
Reuben and I read that chapter twice. Then we sat silent, thinking.
Finally my man cleared his throat.MoreLess
