Oddest of All review by APB

From side-splitting comedies to grim spine-tinglers, Bruce Coville nails all of the nine short stories in Oddest of All. One short story is "The Ghost Let Go", where Henry Tanleven, his daughter, Nine, and her friend, Chris, are in a car wreck. They seek a place where they can make a phone call and end up staying in a haunted house for the night! Can Nine and Chris help the weeping ghost?
