Lucely's life is all about ghosts, and not just because her dad runs a local ghost tour in their Florida hometown. The spirits of her relatives literally live in the back yard, and Lucely talks to them every day, especially at family breakfast. If you thought ghosts can't eat, you've never seen Lucely's family chowing down on pancakes and syrup!
When an invisible force attacks her abuela's spirit, Lucely is determined to help. She can't let her abuela just disappear. She and her best friend Syd go looking for a spellbook to bring her abuela back, but they may have accidentally unleashed an angry mob of ghosts on St. Augustine!
With the help of Syd's grandmother, Babette, an actual witch and the coolest person Lucely knows, and Babette's fat cat Chunk, they devise a plan to save St. Augustine and Lucely's family of spirits.
Claribel Ortega's debut novel is a fun ghost hunting adventure. It's Coco meets Ghostbusters with its warm sense of family and support plus the humor and adventure of the ghost hunt. This book has just the right amount of spooky to keep horror fans engaged, and I laughed out loud a couple of times while reading. Highly recommended.
