Description
"This eerie novel will attract readers who love tales of horror. The short chapters, fast-paced adventure, and likeable male and female characters will make Ghosts of Gastown a good choice for readers." -- Recommended, CM Review
"Ghosts of Gastown gives a different twist on how a young person may navigate grief and the big feelings that come with major life changes."-- Meagan Richards, CCBN
"A piling on of villains and threats may add additional drama to the climactic face-off... with a whiplash-inducing reveal."--
Twelve-year-old Hope Graves can see the dead. But nobody believes her. Not even her best friend. When Hope and her mom move to the Gastown area of Vancouver, their new home isn't exactly as she imagined. The ancient apartment sits over a weird crystal shop, she misses her dad, and ghosts lurk around every corner. The worst part? The strange boy whose parents own the shop can see spirits too, and he won't stop bugging her about it.
Hope tries to avoid Oliver, but when a ghost appears in her bedroom with a haunting plea, he's the only person she can turn to for help. Trying to banish the spirit only leads them down a twisted path far more dangerous than any ghost. Something is hunting the souls of Gastown, and it's closing in on its next victim.
