Singenpoo Shoots Through by Paul Jennings

This is the third book in the Singenpoo series. Scott has since left the take-away shop and is now working for The Boss in a carnival doing shows with Singenpoo. Most of the other acts in the show are fake and The Boss doesn't believe that Singenpoo really can read. Scott even has his own caravan to live in but something at the carnival is not right, there is a sad old man there called Jack who seems to be being held captive there. Singenpoo takes a real liking to Jack and Scott is determined to find out what is the big secret about Jack.

The Fairground Ghost by Felicity Everett

This book is probably the easiest read on the bookshelves. Evicted from the ghost train by the Ghost Inspector, because of his low score on the scare-o-metre, the little ghost finds himself alone and out of a job. Then he meets young Jake who knows exactly what to do. The text is accompanied by soft watercolour with ink overlay illustrations and is organised into short chapters. This could be read in one Silent Reading session.
