Timmy the Timid Ghost #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains two Timmy the Timid Ghost stories. In the first story, Timmy learns to read with help from his ghost family, eagerly receiving a special delivery book called "Ghost Stories," and then demonstrates his newfound courage by confronting Terry the Terrible, a bully ghost who has been terrorizing Middletown. In the second story titled "Hot and Cold," Timmy's parents search for him at an old haunted house, worried that their timid son will never be brave enough to haunt it, but discover him already there—so timid that he's too afraid to even scare an ice cream vendor.
Timmy the timid ghost just wants a quiet evening with his book, but his pal Maxie has other ideas—convincing him to practice the fine art of haunting instead. As the two ghosts venture out into the night, their "training session" spirals into one mishap after another, with Timmy's nervous disposition clashing hilariously against Maxie's confident schemes. By the time the evening ends, Timmy's learned an important lesson about what he's actually cut out for.
Edgar the Eager Ghost is so keen to attend ghost school that he charges right in without listening to warnings—and discovers the building is being demolished! When a scholarship offer arrives at ghost school in Middletown, Edgar's enthusiasm gets the better of him during lessons in chain-rattling and floor-creaking, with predictably chaotic results. On Halloween night, freshly graduated and eager to practice his ghosting skills, Edgar learns a humbling lesson about when—and where—it's wise to scare people.
Timmy's parents worry their little ghost son is too timid to ever learn proper haunting, so his father decides to demonstrate by trying to scare an ice cream vendor—but things don't go quite as planned when he ventures into the vendor's freezer. When Timmy must rescue his father, his nervousness inadvertently does what bravado couldn't: the frightened young ghost's shivering actually scares the vendor away, proving that sometimes the most unlikely ghost makes the best haunt.
