The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street


















Tessa is not overly thrilled about moving from Florida to Chicago, but her dad just got his dream job in the symphony orchestra so she is uprooted from her best friend and life in Florida.  Things get worse though when strange things start happening in her old house - cold air, creaking, getting locked in the bathroom, missing items, mysterious sketches, and a talking ventriloquist dummy.  Fortunately, Tessa meets some new friends who help her in her investigations.  They soon learn of a legendary ghost Inez Clarke who may or may not be buried in a nearby cemetery.  But who was Inez?  Did she really exist?  And why would she be trying to communicate with Tessa?

I thought this had good creep factor - some familiar tropes but there was an underlying theme of friendship that made this a bit different.  I liked it.
