MOSTLY GHOSTLY #2: HAVE YOU MET MY GHOULFRIEND? by R. L. StineDescription: Max's bargain with his ghost buddies, Nicky and Tara, still stands: he will help them discover how they died and what's happened to their parents. In return, they'll help him amp up his coolness factor and avoid the boarding school his father wants to send him to.
Max keeps hearing a cat in his bedroom. Even his big brother, horrible bully Colin, and his parents hear it. Max worries that the cat might be in his bedroom's ghost tunnel - the one he vowed never to enter again. The evil ghost Phears also shows up as a wasp that dives into Max's ear. He threatens to send a berserker ghost, guaranteed to drive Max crazy unless Max delivers his ghost friends to Phears.
To complicate Max's life further, he must keep a daily journal for his English teacher. His existence has become so 'hauntingly' strange that he obviously can't tell the truth in his diary.
First Colin and then Max begin speaking only gibberish. Max starts to lose control of his body, screaming and cartwheeling around. Unfortunately, one of Max's louder gibberish spells occurs after his favorite teacher, complaining of a horrible headache, requests silence. Back to the principal's office he goes, yet again. Max continues to go berserk, at one point actually licking the face of the girl he has a crush on (can you say 'mortifying'?). Could Max be possessed by the berserker ghoul? Will he be able to resist surrendering Tara and Nicky to Phears? And what about that ghost cat?
