Abracadabra!

Score! Malcolm and Dandy have found a winning bottle cap and are ready to claim their prize. But on the way, Malcolm drops it and it rolls away. Thanks to a nice, old woman, the cap is happily returned--only to vanish into thin air. The boys soon learn that it was taken by the Great Zucchini, a famous magician of long ago. But Zucchini doesn't realize that Malcolm has a few tricks of his own.

Calico is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO. 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!
