Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ( )

There can never be too many chapter books that are under a hundred words in length, feature generous font sizes and margins, and have plots that move along at a healthy clip. This title fulfills all of that and throws in a dead great-uncle as a sidekick to novice detective Max. When the Zamboni Sisters' 200-pound zucchini, a shoo-in to win at the Harvest Fair, goes missing, Max and his forever-hungry ghostly Uncle Larry are on the hunt. Satisfying read for an emergent or reluctant reader. Highly recommended. Review copy received via NetGalley.com. (152) ( )
