The Mysterious Messenger by Gilbert Ford
4.0
Maria lives with her pseudo-psychic mother, Madame Destine. Madame Destine likes to con widows into giving her their heirlooms. Surprisingly, Maria really can talk to the dead. Her ghost friend, Edward, sends her on a journey to find a mysterious treasure.
Unlike some middle grade mysteries, this book included many unexpected plot twists. I also loved that the author included multiple literary, art, and jazz history references throughout. This is the perfect book for those readers who want an enjoyable ghost story that is not scary.
