The Haunted House Next Door

Meet Desmond Cole! A fearless eight-year-old who runs his own ghost patrol, looking for ghosts, monsters, and mischief makers everywhere. Oh, and he just so happens to be my new best friend...and thank goodness! Because I'm afraid of everything.

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. Desmond is the hall monitor of ghosts and monsters. 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. We do everything together...including catch ghosts. Seems cool, right? There's only one problem: I'm afraid of everything.

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

A fearless eight-year-old runs his own ghost patrol in this graphic novel based on the first book of the Desmond Cole Ghost Patrol chapter book series!

Andres Miedoso just wants everything to be normal-boring. But after moving to a new town called Kersville, it quickly becomes clear that this place is anything but ordinary. His new neighbor, Desmond Cole, runs a Ghost Patrol, taking on any monster-catching job no matter how spooky, icky, or risky it might be.

Grown-ups always have a lot of advice for new kids in town. But they never say what to do when the house - no, the entire town - is haunted!

Perfect for emerging readers, this full-color graphic novel tells the spooky story better than ever before.
