A spooky, funny middle grade adventure with a sassy, memorable heroine
and a charming Southern feel, perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo, Kate
Messner, and Natalie Lloyd.
Twelve-year-old haunt huntress apprentice Evangeline Clement spends her
days and nights studying the ways of folk magic, honing her
monster-hunting skills while pursuing local bayou banshees and Johnny
revenants.
With her animal familiar sure to make itself known any day now, the only
thing left to do is prove to the council she has heart. Then she will
finally be declared a true haunt huntress, worthy of following in the
footsteps of her long line of female ancestors.
But when Evangeline and her grandmother are called to New Orleans to
resolve an unusual case, she uncovers a secret that will shake her to
the soles of her silver-tipped alligator-skin boots.
Set in the evocative Louisiana bayou and the vibrant streets of New
Orleans, Evangeline's is a tale of loyalty and determination, the
powerful bonds of friendship and family, and the courage to trust your
gut no matter how terrifying that might be.
