The Gross Ghost Mystery - Franklin W. Dixon

Ghosts, Ghouls, and Eyeballs
Finished! Joe Hardy yelled, charging out of his new room.
I unpacked everything, Frank. It was easy!"
Joe almost crashed into his brother, Frank, who came puffing up the stairs. He gave Joe a dirty look over the big box in his arms. Sure it was. You only unpacked one box.
Joe shrugged. Big deal. I got out all the good stuff. Check it out.
The best thing about their new house was that each brother had his own room. They wouldn’t have to draw chalk lines down the middle of the floor anymore.
When Frank looked into Joe’s room, he nearly dropped the box. Mom is going to kill you,
he said. This place is crawling with your dumb monster toys!
They’re not toys,
Joe said. It’s my collection of the grossest stuff on earth.
Joe’s slimy worms, jellied eyeballs, and slippery slugs were strewn all over his room.
His favorite figure sat on the night table beside his bed. It was a wiggly ghost made of milky white plastic, and it had fangs, claws, and two extra arms that looked like snakes. Joe picked it up and stuck it in Frank’s face.
Mwah-ha, ha.
Joe gave an evil laugh.
Frank pretended to shiver. Ooooh—I’m soooo scared!
he said.
Joe frowned. Frank was always making fun of his stuff.
Frank dumped the box he was carrying on Joe’s bed. Hurry up and finish so we can go out and explore.
Hey, watch it! You almost stepped on my Super Slimer.
Joe carefully picked up the figure that Frank had knocked over. I was just about to put it up there.
Joe pointed to the top shelf of his bookcase. He jumped up on the bed. Even when he stood on tiptoe, the shelf was too high for him to reach. The slimer slipped out of his hands, and Frank caught it in midair.
Move over, shrimp,
Frank said. He climbed up, stretched, and put the figure in place.
Frank was nine, only a year older than Joe. And only a little taller.
Show-off!
Race you down the stairs,
Frank yelled. He jumped off the bed and ran. Joe followed him.
Rotten egg,
Frank said when he reached the bottom first.
Mrs. Hardy was hanging a shade on one of the kitchen windows.
Mom, can we go outside?
Frank asked.
That depends,
Mrs. Hardy said. Did you finish unpacking your boxes?
Just about,
Joe said quickly.
Frank rolled his eyes.
Okay, have fun,
Mrs. Hardy said. "But
