Welcome to Kersville, a town with a spooky history and a collection of ghosts and spirits who are major mischief-makers. Most kids spend their days without ever seeing or dealing with a ghost, but some kids get stuck with a haunt. When that happens, they call Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol. There's no job too spooky, icky, or risky for Desmond.

I'm not like that at all. My name's Andres Miedoso. I'm Desmond's best friend and I'm afraid of everything.

When you go to the beach with Desmond Cole, it isn't all sand, surf, and sun. It's more like, ghosts, ghouls, and gloom. And yes, being haunted while there's sand in your swimsuit is annoying, but at least you can always count on one thing--beach life is never boring with Mersurfers around.

With easy-to-read language and illustrations on almost every page, the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter books are perfect for emerging readers.
