Return to Shadow School for the second installment of the spooky
middle-grade series from J. A. White, the acclaimed author of
Nightbooks and The Thickety series. Now available in paperback.
Cordelia Liu's first year at Shadow School was a success. She studied
hard and made friends. She also sent hundreds of ghosts into the
afterlife, because Shadow School isn't a normal school, and Cordelia Liu
isn't a normal girl.
But her second year is already different. Ghosts are refusing to move
on, the teachers are acting weird, and Cordelia's best friends, Benji
and Agnes, aren't as interested in rescuing the ghosts as they used to
be. Benji is busy hanging out with the girl he befriended over the
summer, while Agnes spends all her time building a machine that might be
capable of dehaunting the school forever.
Cordelia is the only one who believes that something sinister is
happening right under their noses. But what if it's even worse than she
could imagine?
