Guys Read: Ghost Vision Glasses

The ad promised you’d be able to see into the spirit world.

But they couldn’t work for real . . . could they? Patrick Carman drops ten-year-old Kyle Jennings into a rickety lakeside attic with a stack of 1970 comic books, a cardboard box, and a pair of petrified-wood frames hidden behind a tiny secret door. The blue cabin hardly seems like a haunted retreat . . . or does it?

This comic thriller follows Kyle as a ten-dollar mail order delivers an ancient wooden box, an uninvited ghost, and eerie figures hovering over the water. Carman never promises a harmless summer prank . . . does he?
