NOTE: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review

I like this story a lot. A strong female lead, solid action sequences, and a unique setting make this a book that I would recommend. This lays the groundwork to what appears to be a pretty exciting series. The one minor complaint I have is with the ghost - He is a little too good to be true. I am excited to see where this series goes. 4 stars out of 5

I liked this book; it was fun. There are kids having adventures, and Science!, and the importance of family and friendship and standing up to bullies, and a small town girl making it big, and lots of things that will be important later in Sally's story. My only regret is that I didn't love this book. It felt a little 'paint by numbers'--all your favorite tropes are there, right where you expect to find them. Except for the situation with her elder brother and the Doctor, which was an interesting surprise. (That should be vague enough to avoid spoilers.)
