The Secret Room #5 (The Haunted Library)

Kaz and Claire return in a new mystery. This time the mystery revolves around a secret room in the library. For the first time, Kaz is able to visit this room and he and his brother and Beckett discover that the room is full of objects that were originally solid before being turned 'ghostly'. But who did these items belong too? And Claire runs into additional problems when her mother discovers what they are up to and doesn't approve of Claire's talk of ghosts. Butler has kept this series fresh and interesting with each new mystery as well as the ongoing challenges Kaz faces as he develops his ghostly abilities and continues his search for the rest of his family. I've enjoyed following Kaz and Claire's efforts to work together despite the great differences between them and the creativity they have to sometimes employ to solve the mysteries before them.

the outstanding collection was requested by my child. We had 4, bought all 10. Excellent series and highly entertaining to the late elementary student.

I used to be obsessed with Harry Potter but now since my mom showed these series to me I can’t stop reading these.

My seven year old daughter and I love reading these books together. We love the friendship between Kaz and Claire, and how they both help each other - and their families - grow and learn.

My daughter loves this series of books from the mysteries to the funny antics of Kaz, Claire, and now his little brother and his dog. I’m not going to spoil any of the secrets in this one. The Haunted Library: The Secret Room by Dori Hillestad Butler, illustrated by Aurore Damant, is a fun ride and will keep you guessing.

My son is 9 and in 3rd grade and hates reading but loves these books! He doesn’t like them quite as much as the eerie elementary series but they are definitely still some of the only books that we have found which he enjoys! Thank goodness! I feel like they would be suitable for kids needing a slower transition to chapter books...they are chapter books, but they have a picture every 2-3 pages which my son loves! Great for 2nd and 3rd graders...or a higher level 1st grade reader!

My 7 year old granddaughter is racing thru this series and this was on her list. She reported that it was great and she is a pretty good critic as well as an excellent reader!

This series of books is fun and keeps you wanting to know more about what is going to happen next. They turned to my son from the standard reader to a kid who really enjoys reading and looks forward to the next book! The series has AR numbers and runs between 11000 and 14000 words per book. It made it quick for him to add up his numbers in his third grade class
