From National Book Award'winning author William Alexander comes a wryly humorous story about two kids who try to save their town by bringing back its ghosts.

Rosa Ramona Diaz has just moved to the small, un-haunted town of Ingot'the only ghost-free town in the world. She doesn't want to be there. She doesn't understand how her mother'a librarian who specializes in ghost-appeasement'could possibly want to live in a place with no ghosts. Frankly, she doesn't understand why anyone would.

Jasper Chevalier has always lived in Ingot. His father plays a knight at the local Renaissance Festival, and his mother plays the queen. Jasper has never seen a ghost, and can't imagine his un-haunted town any other way. Then an apparition thunders into the festival grounds and turns the quiet town upside down.

Something otherworldly is about to be unleashed, and Rosa will need all her ghost appeasement tools'and a little help from Jasper'to rein in the angry spirits and restore peace to Ingot before it's too late.

Industry Reviews

* "Kelly Murphy's illustrations help bring life to William Alexander's (Goblin Secrets) succinct gem: a meticulously crafted world so tangible it feels like an alternate version of our own."--Lynn Becker, blogger and host of Book Talk, a monthly online discussion of children's books for SCBWI "Shelf Awareness, starred review " "National Book Award winner Alexander (Goblin Secrets, 2012) displays strong writing chops. His latest is perfect for kids who like their creepy moments mixed with wildly imaginative elements (like a motorcycle-riding spirit who denies he's dead). This should see plenty of circulation."--Karen Cruze "Booklist "
