This debut novel from high school teacher Jennifer Allison has earned glowing critical praise for its blend of humor, substance, and scares. In a starred review, Booklist says, "Allison pulls off something special here." Gilda Joyce is a zany, 13-year-old psychic who's always trying to contact her dead father. But while visiting relatives in San Francisco, she encounters a different ghost. "Gilda's earnest and wacky personality accompanied by her dry wit make this an amusing as well as suspenseful mystery."-Kirkus Reviews
