Ireland is excellent at writing alternative history. Ophie sees ghosts, and when her and her mom start working at a house in the 1920s filled with ghosts, Ophie wants to help them. I enjoyed the way that Ireland works the ghosts into a story about Ophie's own grief after her father is killed. You're pulled into Ophie's story from the beginning, and the mystery behind the ghosts at the manner really drives the story forward.
Plus, the narrator of the audiobook was amazing. I would say that Ireland's foray into middle grade was definitely a success!
