This book is funny, not that scary. So yes, you can read it at nighttime and not have to worry about that demon friend of yours that awaits you in bed. You know he only comes out after you watch a scary MOVIE, anyways.
Eleanor Clemente, her mom Josephine, and brother Joseph pack up their Ohio belongings and go to Massachusetts. It's like every other normal story about a teen who has to move to another state and start all over in a new school, right? Wrong. Oh, this story is so much more different and I'm sad that that's what you're used to...
After being excessively annoyed by one eccentric Emilia Julie Bernard, and catching her brother with a few high school weirdos, Eleanor finds herself in a pickle when she starts hearing voices inside her head. The only problem is that it isn't in her head, but instead belongs to a lively ghost-spirit, no irony intended. And this socially frustrated ghost will just leave her alone.
But what Eleanor doesn't know is the reason she's being haunted. The ghost of Ean Brennan has a few problems of her own to skin with...(skin? Really?). And she definitely has no remorse for the way she treats the one thing she's found herself to be extremely jealous of-- an alive human being.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
