King & Kayla and the Case of the Downstairs Ghost
(Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
King and Kayla are going to a sleepover at Thor and Jillian’s house. King LOVES sleepovers. They’re his favorite thing! And he particularly likes Jillian’s basement, because animals are allowed on the furniture. But Jillian and Thor are afraid to go downstairs because there’s big, dark blob that goes “Whoooooo!” and chases her around the basement.
Kayla’s not worried; she wants to know what’s happening downstairs. With her intrepid co-detective, she investigates the weird sights and sounds and solves the mystery—but not before an encounter with Cat with No Name and a run-in with a skunk.

Grades 1-3 Doggy detective King and his analytical human sleuthing partner, Kayla, come to the aid of frightened friends at a sleepover in this tenth series installment. Jillian and her puppy, Thor, are freaked out by a "big dark blob" that makes an ominous "Wooooooo!" noise and appears to reside in their basement. While Kayla methodically lists known facts and riddle-like questions ("Why do we only see the ghost at night when the lights are off but we can hear it anytime?"), King sniffs out clues, including some red herrings. Through problem-solving and teamwork, the pair sheds light on the shadowy mystery. King's enthusiastic narration is peppered with funny asides ("If I could write, I would add this") and lots of personality ("I LOVE baths. They're my favorite thing"). Meyers' digital cartoon vignettes are a pleasing blend of sweetness, humor, and a touch of suspense. Beginning readers will enjoy the fast-moving plot and unexpected twists.COPYRIGHT(2023) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Gr 1-3-King the friendly dog and his human Kayla are excited to have a sleepover with Jillian and her own fun-loving canine Thor. The only problem is the ghost in the basement! The group of friends goes on an adventure to where the spooky ghost dwells, looking and listening for clues as shadows caress the walls and "wooooooo" sounds are heard by each character, but only while the lights are off. Is there really a ghost, or is someone (or something) playing a trick on the sleepover crew? Simple illustrations guide readers through this beginning chapter book and pair nicely with Butler's candid, straightforward text. VERDICT This not-too-spooky ghost story is the ideal choice for newly independent readers and lovers of mysteries.-Kerra Mazzariello
