Can he outsmart the ghost and his rival, or will the swamp's secrets get the best of him?

From the publisher

It’s time for the annual Halloween picnic. But the kids are worried about the ghost of Titus Dinworthy. Except William, who’s pretty sure old Titus is just swamp gas; it’s Hester Bledden he’s worried about. Every time William is about to win a contest, Hester shows up, sticks out her tongue, and shouts, ?Peeee youuuuu!? But when something eerie rises out of the swamp, William gets a chance to show both Titus and Hester what a boy from Mudsock Meadow is made of.
