Our Review
This spirited sequel continues the supernatural adventures of Rosa Diaz, who must now contend with the consequences of unleashing a town full of ghosts in a world already teeming with spirits and poltergeists. National Book Award winner William Alexander crafts a spooky adventure that blends genuine chills with clever humor, creating an engaging ghost story for middle grade readers who enjoy supernatural mysteries with heart. The narrative builds excitement as Rosa faces the unique challenge of a town completely unprepared for spectral coexistence.
What makes this story distinctive is its focus on community dynamics and problem-solving rather than simply vanquishing spirits, offering young readers a thoughtful perspective on living with differences. Children who appreciate ghost stories with emotional depth will find Rosa's determination and resourcefulness particularly compelling as she navigates this haunted landscape. Alexander's imaginative world-building creates just the right balance of eerie atmosphere and reassuring warmth, making this an ideal choice for readers ready to graduate from early chapter books to more complex supernatural tales.
