Two kids are about to find out that their lives are anything but ordinary when a ghost arrives and stirs up adventure. Perfect for fans of A Tale Dark and Grimm!
Ghosts only haunt when they've left something behind...
When Henry Davis moves into the neighborhood, Barbara Anne and her classmates at Washington Carver Elementary don't know what to make of him. He's pale, small, odd. For curious Barbara Anne, Henry's also a riddle--a boy who sits alone at recess sketching in a mysterious notebook, a boy, she soon learns, who's being haunted by a ghost named Edgar.
With the help of some new friends, this unlikely duo is off on an adventure to discover who Edgar was while alive and why he's haunting Henry now. Together, they might just help Edgar find what he needs to finally be at peace.
"Convincing, humorous, warm, and definitely spooky." --
Kirkus Reviews"By turns hilarious and macabre, this serves up chills, laughs, and even some life lessons through the antics of an unlikely group of friends." --
Booklist"With haunting events, a ghost with an interesting backstory, and a problem left unsolved in the wraith’s past life, this very readable novel has all the staples of a classic ghost story, and fans of the genre won’t be disappointed." --
The Bulletin“Siebel’s writing is filled with
clever turns of phrase (“this was as voluntary as a fire drill”), and Barbara Anne’s limited sense of self-awareness makes her an
amusing narrator.”
