Mostly Ghostly has all these funny elements, with poor Max and these ghosts who are always embarrassing him. There’s a lot of funny stuff, but then there are some really terrifying moments. There is a ghost named Fears, who really wants to capture the two ghosts that Max is protecting and will do anything to Max. In the very first book, he’s going to show Max what he can do. Max is out walking his dog; and Fears, in a really disgusting scene, turns Max’s dog inside out. The dog is just there with his organs out. He’s just inside out. That’s kind of creepy. So, it has a lot of stuff like that. Mostly Ghostly is pretty scary. A neighbor drives by and sees Max there, and she says, “Max, did you drop your garbage? Can I help you pick up your garbage?”
He says, “No. It’s just my dog.”
