Another graphic novel in this fun series spin-off from The Baby-sitters Club, adapted and illustrated by DK Yingst!
Karen thinks there's a ghost in her house! But she has never really seen the ghost of Old Ben Brewer... until now.
Karen and her stepsister, Kristy, have found out that Ben Brewer and his spooky friends are going to have a birthday party in their attic on Halloween night! It used to be fun having a ghost around. But now Karen isn't so sure!
When Karen adopts a grandmother from Stoneybrook Manor, she has more grandmas than anyone she knows -- five! Karen thinks that is very special. But Karen's new grandmother is so different! Grandma B makes Karen listen to old music, and she teaches Karen funny dances, like the foxtrot.
Are five grandmothers too many for Karen?
