REVIEW: The Mystery on Walrus Mountain

The Mystery on Walrus Mountain
Author: Dian Curtis Regan

Robbie and Rebekah are twins, but they are a bit different from everyone else. They are ghosts. After accidentally drowning in the 1940s, they still hang around their old house at Kickingbird Lake. The area is a tourist resort now, so lots of different families come and stay in their house. This time, it's winter at Kickingbird Lake and a family of skiers are staying in their house. Well, the parents ski....but the son, Noah, starts limping every time his parents mention skiing. The ghosts are a bit confused....Noah doesn't seem hurt. Why does he limp sometimes? Noah also has a strange box that he types on called a computer. They've never seen a computer before. It turns out that Thatch, the twins' ghost dog can interact with computers in a way the twins never expected! And it leads them into another adventure!

This story is my favorite of this series so far. Very creative and entertaining! The ghost twins get to be a bit more interactive with the living in this story, but in a roundabout way. The book was written in 1995, so the descriptions of computers are a bit outdated, but that doesn't make the story less enjoyable. Nice mix of humor and adventure! Great middle-grade adventure story!

The Mystery on Walrus Mountain is the third book in the Ghost Twins series. There are eight books in total. Dian Curtis Regan has written books for kids ranging from board books up to YA novels. I'm definitely going to read more of her books! I love reading children's books as a break from the adult thriller, murder mystery and horror books I like to read. Sometimes I just need something light hearted and cute to clear my head after reading a "heavy'' story.  Dian Curtis Regan's books do that perfectly for me! I enjoy her writing and humor.
