This story read like an old ABC After School Special. I loved it!
Published in 1984, this book is cute, but dated. I happened across a copy purely by accident and just had to read it. :) I'm a sucker for old OOP kids books. :) The story is a quick read and enjoyable. The group of friends are like an 80s version of the Scooby Doo Gang sans dog. Fun story. This is actually the first book in a series of six. I'm going to try to weasel up the other books online. I enjoyed this first one enough to want to read the rest. The outdated computer jargon alone made it worth it. I remember the first klunky word processors....nothing more than a glorified typewriter with those lovely glow in the dark green or street light orange letters glowing....and the accompanying loud, shaking, slowwwww dot matrix printers. The mental picture of two living boys leaning into their word processor to talk to four ghost kids while plotting how to foil some bullies and robbers made me smile. Just too fun a story to pass up!
E.W. Hildick wrote many other middle-grade books including the McGurk Mystery series and The Top-Flight Fully-Automated Junior High School Girl Detective (I absolutely have to find a copy of this book just for the title!). This series is a bit dated, but since 80s nostalgia is popular right now, the books would be a fun read for computer-loving middle grade students and adults. :) Updated a bit, this would make a cute premise for a kids' show on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon.
I looked around online a bit....there are plenty of used copies of this old OOP series floating around online for cheap. Definitely worth a read. Well-written, cute and enjoyable!… (mais)
