[edit] Plot
The plot revolves around Max, a 11 year old boy (he later turns 12) who ends up meeting two ghosts named Nicky and Tara Roland. The ghosts make Max a deal: If he can help them find out how they died and what happened to their parents, they'll help make his life better. But they usually end up ruining things. Nevertheless, Max still tries to help them solve the mystery, and the three encounter various villains and somewhat silly adventures. He then runs into Farina, and they both then save the day using their supernatural "Ghost Ring" Powers.
[edit] Characters
Max Doyle:The main character. He is almost part psychic because he is the only person in his town that can see ghosts. Aside from being friends with ghosts, he is what most would refer to as a "normal" 11-year-old. He is very intelligent but is horrible at sports, much to his father's chagrin and is very unpopular at his middle school. He is subject to frequent taunting.
Nicky Roland:A ghost that lost his ghost-catching parents when Phears escaped ghost prison and turned the Rolands to ghosts.. He did not seem to trust Max in the beginning, but appears to like him in the later books. He is 11 years old, just like Max.
Tara Roland:A ghost that lost her ghost-catching parents when Phears escaped ghost prison and turned the Rolands to ghosts. She instantly warmed up to Max, unlike her brother. She tries hard to help Max, but usually ends up making things worse. She is nine years old.
Colin Doyle:Max's older brother, who frequently picks on him and embarrasses him. He pranks on Max every chance he gets. He is very popular, athletic, and muscular, and at his high school, girls think he is attractive.
Mr. & Mrs. Roland:The parents of Nicky and Tara Roland. They are ghosts too , due to Phears like their children. In the 4th book , "Little Camp of Horrors", they reunite with thir children but leave for their continuous goal of destroying Phears.
Phears:An evil ghost that was captured by the ghost catchers Mr. and Mrs. Roland. He was so angry when he was captured, so he freed himself , freed the other evil ghosts that the Rolands incarcerated , and turned the Rolands into ghosts. Once he was freed, his only goal was to destroy the Rolands. His purpose is unknown for now.
Mr. Doyle:Max and Colin's dad. Mr. Doyle always takes Colin's side in arguments because he is proud of his athletic son. He also picks on Max when Colin is doing it too.
Mrs. Doyle:Max and Colin's mom. Mrs. Doyle is very allergic to cats. She always takes Max's side in arguments because she does not think bullying is amusing. But when Max gets in trouble, she takes Colin's side , even though most of the time Colin should be in trouble.
