Malcolm obtains a "specter detector" that allows him to see ghosts. Life quickly becomes much more exciting for the budding scientist and his dimmer-bulb best friend Dandy. The stories suffer from stilted dialogue and prefab (if sometimes entertaining) plots. Black-and-white cartoon illustrations and pseudo-scientific diagrams add some verve.

Malcolm and his best friend Dandy aren't like other 10-year-old boys. Malcolm would rather avoid his older sister, experiment in his lab, and read his science magazines than play sports. In one magazine, he comes across an advertisement for an Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat-Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector. Its arrival is the beginning of the boys' new career as Ghost Detectors when they discover a practical-joking poltergeist! Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 2-5.
