Revenge of the Library Ghost
By: Diana Corbitt
A year after Theresa Martinez and her British friend, Kerry, won the Ghosters contest, her younger brother Joey finds himself in the middle of a new supernatural mystery.
Strange things are happening at his school library, cold blasts of air, flickering lights, and books flying off the shelves. Joey, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, is curious rather than frightened. His best friend Elbie, who lives above his family's funeral home, is no stranger to ghosts. At first, the boys think the ghost is just playing tricks, but when books start landing at their feet with titles like Stolen Treasure and Hostage, they realize the spirit is trying to communicate. Knowing they’ll need all the help they can get, Joey calls in his sister Theresa and her friend Kerry, both experienced ghost-hunters.
As the team investigates, they dig deeper into the library’s past, uncovering hidden secrets that tie back to a long-forgotten tragedy. But solving the mystery is not as easy as it seems. Each clue leads to new questions, and not all the spirits they encounter are friendly. With their nerves tested, the Ghosters must work together to help the restless ghost find peace.
