Malcolm's dad thinks it's time Malcolm and his best friend Dandy get out of the basement lab and started doing the things that other 10-year-old boys enjoy. So, they are going camping--in October! The best part of camping at Lake Itchyburr is the Legend of Wild Willy Wallace. The Ghost Detectors are ready to face the smelly, ghostly outlaw--it's a good thing Malcolm brought the specter detector and ghost zapper along! Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 2-5. Reviewed Ten-year-old Malcolm would rather avoid his older sister, experiment in his lab, and read his science magazines than play sports. In one of his magazines, he comes across an advertisement for an Ecto-Handheld-Automatic-Heat-Sensitive-Laser-Enhanced Specter Detector. With that gadget, Malcolm and his best friend Dandy meet ghosts all around their neighborhood. Thus begins the boys' new careers as Ghost Detectors!
