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 Díaz 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.
