Middle-grade tone didn’t hold my interest; wanted more depth and darkness.
second read: march 2025: got the sudden urge to re-read this series, it's still so much fun and addictive
•Stories have power. So long as you believe them.•

Me gustó muchísimo. Es un buen middle grade spooky y con una buena dosis de amistad. Me faltó una cosita que MUY probablemente vaya a desarrollarse en la segunda parte, sooo ahora me queda esperar. Sad.

A quick fun read. Likable cast and I like the way the author dealt with belief in the unbelievable. Yet of course the whole premise is about ghosts and their manifestations.
