A Properly Unhaunted Place

















Rosa and her mother, a ghost appeasement specialist, have just moved to Ingot.  But Ingot has no ghosts.  So why do they need a specialist?  Or did her mother move to Ingot to escape the memory of Rosa's father?  As Rosa tries to adjust to life without ghosts she meets Jasper, whose family works at the Renaissance Fair in town.  But then something weird happens...  a ghost appears.  Now Rosa and Jasper must figure out where this haunting is coming from and how to make things right.

I really enjoyed the book.  It was fast paced and had an interesting concept.  I think my younger readers will like it for the reason that made me frustrated in the end.  There was a lot of build up about how terrible it would be when the barrier was breached and all the ghosts were able to come back to town and then...not so much.  Younger readers won't mind it but older readers (like me) may feel let down.
