"Ghosts, pirates and family secrets -- Stephen gets more than he bargained for when he seeks out adventure in the ghostly realm, for fans of When You Trap a Tiger. Stephen loves pirates. What he doesn't love is his name: Stephen Oh-O'Driscoll. He believes when his Korean mother and Irish father gave him this name, that it was just one cruel setup for being teased. Giving things the proper name is important, which is why Stephen thinks that it's time to update the definition of "pirate." They've got a bad rep, and maybe they deserve some of it, but Stephen still likes a few pirate traditions, like bandannas and eyepatches -- he's just not that into stealing things from people. He has the perfect new word: piventurate. A sailor who passionately seeks adventure. That's what he wants to be. When he gets suspended from school for doing proper piventurate-in-training things (using sticks to practice sword fighting), his mother doesn't let him sit around doing nothing, instead she takes him to a museum. At the museum everything changes. Stephen finds himself in a strange new place, face-to-face with a real pirate. A pirate ghost. Captain Sapperton needs Stephen's help to cross to the other side, and his former ghost crew are intent on making sure Stephen follows through, whatever it takes. Stephen is about to discover the true meaning of piventurate, and much to his surprise, his adventure will not only take him farther into the ghostly realm, but also closer to home, where long-held family secrets reveal surprising ties to the spirit world."--… (more)

Double O Stephen and the Ghostly Realm follows lively Stephen Oh-O'Driscoll as he discovers he can communicate with ghosts – one of whom may have been a pirate and needs Stephen's help crossing over. ( )

I got this through LibraryThing's Early Reviewer program - it's a fun little book about ghosts and pirates, and seems like it hits right around ages 8-12 depending on the kid's reading level. I actually liked that it's written to include some vocabulary kids that age might not know (related to ships mostly, but also Korean ghost lore). Just a fun but substantial read - definitely recommended if you or your kid is into pirates. ( )

This is an enjoyable reader for middle graders. I really enjoyed Stephen the main character and thank goodness a lot of the book was focused on him and not his mother. She was terrible. Brandon and Stephen's friendship was wonderful, and I really enjoyed Stephen's adventures. I believe most middle graders would enjoy this novel. And even some adults ( )
