By word count, it&#39;s well below average, but there are several shorter. (Maybe it&#39;s printed in a small font size?)<br /><br /><i>Horrors of the Black Ring</i> has 17,385 words, which puts it at #79 in decreasing order of word count out of the 87 books in the original and 2000 series. (The average word count in these books is 19,684.) The shortest book by word count is actually <i>Deep Trouble II</i> (at 15,898 words), followed by <i>Return to Ghost Camp</i> (16,270 words), and then <i>Ghost in the Mirror</i> (16,654 words).<br /><br />Of course, all this is assuming that the word counts I found online are accurate.<br /><br />No, I didn&#39;t look up the word counts just to check whether this was in fact the shortest book in the series; I&#39;d already looked them up (and entered them into a spreadsheet and calculated the average) earlier. Yes, there was a reason for that.
