From National Book Awardâwinning author William Alexander comes âa fun and fast-paced supernatural mystery with secret depthsâ (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).
Rosa Ramona DĂaz has a very special talent. She comes from a family of librarians who specialize in ghost appeasement. So she canât understand why her mother has moved them to Ingot, the worldâs only unhaunted town. What are they supposed to do there, with no poltergeists to quiet and no specters to soothe? Frankly, Rosa doesnât think anyone should want to live in a place where the biggest attraction is a woefully inaccurate Renaissance Festival.
But Jasper Chevalier has always lived in Ingot, working at the festival while his parents hold court. Jasper has never seen a ghost, and canât imagine his unhaunted town any other wayâŚuntil an angry apparition thunders into the fairgrounds and turns Ingot upside down. Jasper is astonishedâŚand Rosa is delighted.
Mist is building in the hills, and something otherworldly is about to be unleashed. Rosa will need all her ghost appeasement toolsâand a little help from Jasperâto try to rein in the angry ghosts in this hilariously spooky adventure.
