When hard-hitting magazines like TIME run articles on the existence of ghosts, one starts to believe that theyre real, even with lack of evidence. Videos can be altered, temperature spikes can occur through environmental phenomena, and sounds can be traced sub-harmonic causes. This bone-chilling graphica book takes a look at ghosts and poltergeists, and allows the reader to discern fact from fiction. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Let’s meet the main characters. Edward Icarus Stein, known as “Einstein,” loves science and strives to live up to live up to his nickname. Einstein’s greatest invention so far is the Virtual Visor that allows the group to pursue many different adventures from the safety of home. The visors simulate locations and experiences based upon uploaded facts and other data. “Spacey Tracy” Lee is a straight-A student who loves gymnastics and the cello. Tracy is trying to be more mature and lose the nickname. Clarita Gonzales wants to be an adventurous archaeologist. She is a tomboy who plays soccer and is into martial arts. Her interest in archaeology is an asset to the group. “Freaky Frank” Phillips got his nickname because of his uncanny “extra senses.” Frank always seems to know when someone is lying or up to no good. He is always up for adventure with his friends.
Each book in the series covers a different adventure and mystery that the four friends learn about and try to solve.
