Welcome to Litsy!

Finished this one on Friday. Zee goes on a field trip to a library and may have seen a ghost. She gets bullied and kicks the girl in the face, so she gets detention for a week. Then weird things start happening to the town.

Gonna try to catch up on a few late August reviews!

This ghostly middle grade novel about a girl who can see ghosts combines a spooky (if very obvious) mystery with a tale of old and newfound friendship. Fun for a bit of atmospheric fall reading, but it didn't blow me away.

A fun middle grade ghost mystery that I listened to on audio. Zee and her best friend Elijah notice that a lot of weird things start happening around their town after a storm rolls through town that coincides with the disappearance of a few people and the appearance of some creepy “wolves”. Meanwhile, Zee has her bully, Nelly, to contend with, but they may have to look at what connects them rather than divides them to save the town from evil.

This book was delightful and spooky and full of big emotions that grown ups sometimes forget kids have to deal with to and I loved it! Grown ups go missing, there‘s a new principle, and Zee has to team up with her best friend and her bully to figure out what‘s going on. I really recommend this for anyone with kids in their life and this book in particular deals heavily with loss, mental illness, and just plain bad parenting.

Sheri, Wicket, and I took Mocha yesterday for her first visit to Fountain Bookstore so I could pick up my copy of GHOST GIRL by Ally Malinenko. Naturally, Sheri and I were having so much fun talking with Kelly that we forgot to get a pic of Mocha in the store. #MiddleGrade #Horror

Catching up on some reviews…this MG book is perfect for young readers who like their stories with a little mystery and a whole lot of spookiness. Zee loves to tell ghost stories but when she finds herself in the middle of one, with nobody believing her, she has to figure out what‘s happening in her small town and who‘s responsible. Perfect for young readers looking for an atmospheric, creepy read. On sale 8/21.
