Claire is a scientist. All she wants to do is focus on the science fair project with her best friend and ignore how her father is so completely obsessed with ghosts. Yet, when he needs her help, Claire participates in his ghost tour, reluctantly… That night she sees a young boy on the bus. A boy that no one else sees and one who vanishes, just as quickly as he appeared. In the days that follow, Claire experiences terrifying things and has to accept the fact that she is being haunted by a ghost. Will Claire be able to make the ghost vanish from her life or will she forever be spending the nights locked on her closet, afraid for her life?

Through the eyes of a scared girl, determined to logically explain everything, readers will learn appearances are not always what they seem. Readers will see the value of friendship and the importance of remembering the past. Just in time for fall, families will enjoy reading this book with a good cup of hot chocolate.
This was my first read by Lindsay Currie and it was incredible. I am normally not a fan of spooky stories, unless I am in the mood to be scared. I was not expecting the level of spooky, and definitely had goosebumps. However, it was the ending and the powerful message that I thoroughly appreciated. We should all remember the past, as well as not judge people by their appearances. This book is a definite must-read for families.
