Mortimer Keene: Ghosts on the Loose
Tim Healey, Chris Mould
A wickedly funny series that will appeal to all young scientists, created by Chris Mould, illustrator of A Boy Called Christmas and Tim Healey. If you like Horrid Henry, you’ll love Mortimer Keene.
Mortimer Keene is full to bursting with madcap plans, and if it’s trouble you’re after, look no further! With laugh out loud illustrations, rollicking rhymes, and short chapters perfect for new readers, this second book in the series sees Mortimer Keene and his phantom machine up to no good again!
When the school is overrun with ghosts and ghouls from the past, it’s up to Mortimer Keene to blast them back in time and save the school.

Reviews
I liked how the book was written as a poem - it made the book quick and fun to read. I liked how Mortimer Keene was making the ghosts. The pictures were good to look at and helped bring the story to life. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes spooky stories or ghost stories.

At the start of the book, the teachers were moaning because one of the teachers shouted so loud because he wants a ghost to help him with his work. Mortimer is my favourite character because he saves everyone from the ghosts.

Fantastic

This is a bit silly but fun, a machine that brings back dead people from the past. The hang man was the best ghost, he did some weird things. Recommend for a quick read

About a machine that makes ghosts. Not scary. I enjoyed the different types of ghosts.
