I'd rather cosy up with a good book, but Milo, Mindy and Manny are all super excited.Or at least, they were excited, until all these strange things started happening - messages appearing on the whiteboard, lights flickering on and off, books flying off the library shelves... Some of the other kids have been whispering that the school is haunted, but Mr Graft says that if the spooky mischief doesn't stop, then the disco will be cancelled.Looks like a mission for me, Anisha, accidental ghost detective!Praise for the Anisha, Accidental Detective series:Winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Prize and of the Crimefest Best Crime Novel for ChildrenShortlisted for the Blue Peter Book Award, the British Book Awards Children's Book of the Year, and the

★ 哈佛、普林斯頓經濟學名教授、甘迺迪與詹森總統的經濟顧問──高伯瑞之經典著作！★ 洛杉磯時報（Los Angeles Times）、圖書館期刊（Library Journal） 好評推薦！★ 美國亞馬遜５顆星好評！經濟成為現代人生活話題的重要部份，但許多自認為飽學之土的人都認為，把經濟思想寫得活潑生動、簡單易懂、趣味橫生，就無以彰顯自己的研術涵養。高伯瑞指出，這是那些才疏學淺、文意不通學者慣用的託詞︰他發現，早期的經濟鉅著，幾乎所有有用的理論都可以用清晰、不加粉飾和通俗的文字寫成。你可知道──　◆ 「物競天擇，適者生存」這句話根本不是達爾文說的。　◆ 以《一般理論》改變人類歷史的凱因斯，經濟考不及格。　◆ 只要如願移民美國，馬克思可能一輩子也不會寫出共產黨宣言。　◆ 費雪在經濟學的地位有如愛因斯坦玩股票卻傾家蕩產。了解這些改變人類歷史的著作，以掌握，現代生活的脈動並推測未來，這就是本書重點。好評推薦：「了不起……高伯瑞的聲譽將因《透視經濟學》此書後更上一層樓。」──洛杉磯時報（Los Angeles Times）「高伯瑞又一部經典著作！」──圖書館期刊（Library Journal）「引人入勝！《透視經濟學》對經濟理論和實踐進行了深入淺出的詳細介紹。」──科克斯書評（Kirkus Review）「《透視經濟學》是從亞里士多德到現代的精心製作！」──理查德·帕克，哈佛肯尼迪學院（Richard Parker, Harvard Kennedy School）
