Review

Agatha Parrot has an exuberant personality and a wild nest of red hair. When the bell in the school tower begins ringing at night, Agatha and her friends set out to discover if the mysterious ringing is caused by a ghost. Full of shenanigans, hi jinx, and various parents, teachers, and other adults, the plot is humorous though a bit slight. Characters are funny but not well developed. Good for children who might not be strong readers who need a mystery to read.

Overall Book Score: good
