A GOOD DAY FOR HAUNTING is the third book in the GOLDEN & GREY series. It is set in England and can be quite creepy and scary. I didn't read the first two books and at times became lost in the story - but not for long.
Tom Golden is the one human in the world who can see ghosts. After two other adventures, he has a handful of ghostly friends who have made a society of invisible friends. Each ghost has a human who doesn't know they are there and they become their friend, protecting them from harm and making their lives a little more easy.
Things are going well until a psychic comes into their midst. She has a television series where she is the host to explain ghostly happenings across England. They find that there is more about her than meets the eye, and then find a mystery they need to solve or their lives will be changed forever.
I found this book to be funny and a little scary. I teach fifth grade, and most of the students in my classes want scary books. Ones that used to be scary for me in the days of yore aren't very scary anymore due to the media that kids are subjected to now. There are many scary books out there for the middle school readers, especially ones who are struggling a little with their reading skills.
I liked this series. It had some very scary parts and was interesting to read. I am going to purchase the first two for my classroom library and will probably be reading the first one out loud to them next year. I sure hope Ms. Arnold will write some more.

Another good one!

Let's be clear - if you like the other Golden and Grey books, you'll like this one. And if you didn't, don't bother.
I happen to like this series, so there you go :)
I'm not going to bother recapping everything I've said before, just a note that the school is as dismal as ever and you should be aware of whether or not your kid is up for that. But three books in, I hope you know by now!

A rather amusing, exhilarating adventure that readers will not want to miss or soon forget
25 Feb 2009
Format:Hardcover
Following the defeat of the Collector, numerous new hauntings were reported across England, as ghosts and humans alike enjoyed the holiday season. It seemed like the joy would never end. Then January arrives, along with the First Day Back to School, a day often filled with excitement and dread for students of Thorbleton Secondary School. But for Tom Golden, it is also the beginning of yet another daring adventure involving the Ghost World.
When Grey Arthur tells Tom that Montague Equador Scullion the Third's human, Mrs. Wilson, a substitute Science teacher at Thorbleton, may have figured out that ghosts exist and that "Exceedingly Haunted Homes of England" has been called to investigate, Tom feels a strong sense of foreboding. Grey, though, couldn't be more thrilled at the prospect of being on his favorite television show. The young Invisible Friend tries persuading the reluctant student to help him and the rest of the Invisible Friends --- The Harrowing Screamer, Mildred Rattledust, Monty and Tike --- achieve their "fifteen minutes of fame," even if Grey thinks that the program's new psychic is "a fake" (a theory proven true by an embarrassing and rather funny scandal involving the show's previous psychic star).
News spreads about the recent developments, and the next day Tom and the Invisible Friends are stunned by the hysteria that has swept over Thorbleton. Relieved that they can't be seen, the Invisible Friends, along with Tom (volunteering as a tea boy), anxiously wait for the big day to arrive.
Unfortunately, it's not at all the fun and games that Grey expects, when the new psychic Claudia Sage is apparently indeed psychic. There is more than meets the eye, though, when Tom discovers the truth behind her unique ability. Tom and Grey's concerns grow, however, when Claudia seeks their help in locating a ghostly --- and rather visible --- gallivanting, sword-wielding knight before humans start to realize that ghosts really do exist. Add the disappearance of the Crown Jewels, the discovery of more spirited friends (or foes) and an ancient mystery, and it's accurate to say that Tom Golden and his Invisible Friends are soon on their biggest adventure yet.
With more spine-tingling moments than in the previous two installments of Louise Arnold's Golden & Grey series, A GOOD DAY FOR HAUNTING is a rather amusing, exhilarating adventure that readers will not want to miss or soon forget.
