December Book: Strangely Bumptious by Mark Russell

Strangely Bumptious has a problem. There’s a ghost in his closet named Frank. And Frank wants to recruit Strangely to be a Spook for the Ghost Intelligence Agency (G.I.A.) because he has a rare gift. He can turn into a ghost! But to be a certified Spook Agent, Strangely has to complete his first mission. He must stop the evil ghost Dr. Dubsdread from haunting his new school, Crypts Academy. To do this, Strangely must find the lost bones of a 200-year-old ghost named Lizzie, and return them to the crypt.
