Only this time, Nick's brilliant wit and sleuthing skills are seriously tested when he is brought into a world of spiritualists, mediums and ghosts coming back from the dead-or so it seems. In the spirit of The Hardy Boys and Scooby Doo - 'is it a ghost or not, ' and 'those meddling kids' - I highly recommend Medium Well Done and the whole series, especially for boys and reluctant readers. - Kim Childress, Book Editor, Girls' Life Magazinen n nn nParents can trust the Caden Chronicles.
