Such droll humor and funny insights make this a good read but I am not sure kids would like it as much as adults. ( )

A nice book to read, not a thriller like the title makes you think, but a nice intelligent written story .
I enjoyed reading it, even it`s a book for teenager. ( )

Imagine being the last teenager in town. Spencer Adams Honesty knows because he and his mom are the last two people in Paisley, Kansas. The school is 30 miles away so he is homeschooled, sort of. To while away the hours, he photographs the town with his ghost camera, so named because each roll of film developed mysteriously includes photos of former/deceased residents. He also converses with his imaginary friend, Chief Leopard Frog, who carves good-luck talismans from bee burl wood and writes bad poetry. Things were getting dull in Paisley, but as the old saying goes, “beware of what you wish for”. Looking through a mail order catalog, Uncle Milton’s Thousand Things You Thought You’d Never Find, Spencer sees a listing for a ghost camera. He writes to Uncle Milton, receives a zany response and soon a correspondence and business develop. Things begin to get busy. More busy than Spencer ever imagined, and not necessarily in a good way.
Ghost Town will make you chuckle. It is filled with ghosts in photographs, good-luck talismans providing bad luck, pumpkins that look like celebrities and a smash hit book of bad poetry call Burl Hives. Spencer’s activities are humorous, the results sometimes bone shattering. Uncle Milton never appears, however his letters are hilarious. Chief Leopard Frog is wise, despite his lack physical presence and poetic talent. There is adventure and romance, fun and action. Jennings has a talent for humor and middle school boys and girls will smile as they read Ghost Town. ( )
