A family-run haunted hotel&;s livelihood is threatened when a bigger haunted hotel opens nearby in this hilarious, spooky story

Twelve-year-old Willow Ivan&;s family has run the Hotel Ivan for four hundred years. Through thick and thin, they&;ve held on tight to their title as the Best Haunted Hotel on Mercer Street. That is, until the Hauntery&;a corporate chain of haunted hotels&;moves in down the street. As the Ivan&;s business fades, so do their ghostly staff. And Willow begins to worry that The Ivan&;s days are numbered.

Then Willow meets Evie, a Hauntery ghost who&;s forced to play the part of a Spooky Little Girl even though she longs to be a Terrifying Phantasm. So when Willow offers her a job at The Ivan, Evie accepts&;but she doesn&;t tell Willow that she&;s still working for The Ivan&;s competition, for fear of losing her new job and friend.

Together, the girls come up with a plan to save The Ivan. But with The Ivan ghosts already fading and Evie&;s secret threatening to come out, will it be too late?
