A Bad Case of Ghosts (Barnes and the Brains #1) by Kenneth Oppel

Giles Barnes and his family have just moved – into a very strange house. Creaks, rustles, and fluttering sounds fill his bedroom. His mother insists there are no such thing as ghosts, but Giles decides to investigate. He enlists the help of his new neighbours, "local geniuses" Tina and Kevin Quark, and their "ghostometer," and together Barnes and the Brains solve the mystery – and get rid of the ghosts for good!
