Publisher's summary

From the acclaimed author of Nightbooks and The Thickety comes a spooky series, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman, Adam Gidwitz, and Stranger Things!

Cordelia Liu knew Shadow School was going to be different. Still, she didn’t expect the school grounds to be filled with ghosts.

Cordelia soon realizes she’s not the only one who can see the ghosts; her new friend Benji can, too. Together with super-smart Agnes, the trio are determined to find out why the ghosts are there and whether there’s a way to set them free.

But the school was created with more sinister intentions, and someone is willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure that the ghosts remain trapped forever.

Check out the book that School Library Journal called a “delightful blend of friendship, suspense, and spectral sightings [that] belongs on most shelves!”

It was okay

It was okay, I kept thinking that it was gonna go somewhere and it never did. It’s not like it was bad, but if you are trying to read some type of mystery this isn’t it. But overall it was okay, and I said it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing.

This is a great book! It’s mysterious, happy, a little scary and comical. Perfectly appropriate for tweens and adults!

Another amazing book by JA White

I read Nightbooks and didn’t think JA White could even get close to writing a book as good. But this book is amazing and while Nightbooks is still my favorite this book is almost as good! JA White is one of the most talented and inspiring authors I’ve discovered in a while. I highly suggest you give this a listen if your a fan of spooky books.
