by Judith Spearing ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 22, 1966
Wilbur and Mortimer, the two little boys in the Temple ghost family, were bored with the eons they had to spend at home, with only occasional breaks to assist and confound the townspeople. So finally their parents agreed to let them go to school, first in invisible form, but later, as they were discovered and accepted, taking on a solid aspect. The primary school routine is down in full, and eight year olds will be amused by the ways Wilbur and Mortimer managed to disrupt it. But the innocuous humor is likely to become rather dull to readers whose tastes have indicated that they like their ghosts made of something less tangible and more spine-tingling than Wilbur and Mortimer.
