Polterghost

Moving is hard. Having no friends is even harder. But living in a house with a ghost, well, that might be Finn's greatest challenge.

Life—and the afterlife—is a journey in this spooky-fun novel for ages 10 and up where a lonely boy, a restless ghost, and new friendships collide.

Twelve-year-old Finn O’Donnell has more fears than friends. When his parents move him from their Chicago condo to a creepy, old farmhouse in Wisconsin, what he's afraid of gets worse. Someone else lives in Finn’s new house—the ghost of a girl who died there in the 1800s. But for some reason, Finn is the only one who can see her. She shatters light bulbs and materializes in his bathroom, making it clear she wants him and his family out. Terrifying.

Finn turns to a group of local kids who know the unlucky history of his house. As they work to solve the mystery surrounding the spirit and Finn’s abilities, Finn realizes he might actually have a chance to make friends.

Polterghost explores friendship and fortitude among the living and the dead with unforgettable, tender-hearted characters.
