it was amazing
bookshelves: fiction, youth

I only read the story I checked out this book for. It was JIMMY TAKES VANISHING LESSONS by Walter R. Brooks, pp. 308-320. I read this book as a boy and wanted to find if it was still around. When I read it, it was one of the Scholastic books my brother had purchased at school. I read it on our trip to San Francisco.
It always fascinated me. It was about a boy that went to his aunt's home that she couldn't rent because it was haunted. He saw the ghost and it scared him (Jimmy). However, he got over it and went back and scared the ghost. The ghost was mortified and said he'd teach Jimmy to vanish if he'd not tell anyone he scared him. Jimmy took him up on it and eventually used his vanishing ability to get the ghost to live at another house so his aunt could rent it. In the end the aunt and Jimmy felt bad for the ghost because his new home was a lot colder than the other house so they both had the ghost come live with them.
