Bernie and the Bessledorf Ghost — Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

What's bigger than a chair, but smaller than a house? Larger than a loaf of bread, but isn't an animal or a vegetable?

What could this ghost want?!

Bernie and his friends Georgene and Weasel are going crazy trying to figure out how to please the ghost who's haunting Bernie's father's hotel. If Bernie's father loses his job, then his family will need to move again -- but Bernie likes Middleburg, and wants to stay. And so, before his father can be ousted from the suffering hotel, Bernie must face the ghost -- and figure out how to make it leave them all alone!
