This story is about three kids named Pete, Bob, and Jupiter who go to Skeleton Island to find Pete's dad. When they get there they discover a haunted park. Then the lights blink on and off. They run to a boat and then they see a ghost. Later on in the story they find Pete's dad and they meet Chris, whom they try to keep out of trouble. This story has a lot of action.
I like this story because it has a lot of action and adventure. My favorite part is when five boys go scuba diving and they find a pirate ship. I also like it because it has some mystery in it, and I like reading mysteries. I pretty much wanted to read the whole book and see what happened at the end. This book is part of a great series, and I've read lots of books in the series. That's another reason why I like this book.
I think that first graders and second graders would like this book because it's a long chapter book and sort of a grown-up story. I also think they would like it because it has lots of action in it and because it is a mystery.
