Our Review

This Disney-inspired chapter book adventure transports readers directly into the Haunted Mansion attraction, where siblings Gemma and Torin use their enchanted park map to investigate a ghostly mystery. When two of the 999 happy haunts vanish from the spooky manor, the young protagonists must navigate creaking corridors and spectral encounters to restore order. The narrative cleverly blends the familiar thrills of the classic Disney ride with a fresh, engaging plot, creating an immersive reading experience for middle-grade fans of theme park magic and supernatural puzzles. Ridley Pearson's storytelling captures the eerie fun of the Haunted Mansion while maintaining an age-appropriate level of suspense that will keep pages turning.

Young readers who enjoy interactive adventures and solving mysteries alongside brave characters will find this ghostly quest particularly compelling. The book stands out by weaving authentic Disney park details into its fabric, offering a delightful layer of discovery for those familiar with the attraction. This supernatural chapter book successfully balances mild chills with heart and humor, making it an excellent choice for developing readers ready to graduate into longer, more complex stories. The satisfying blend of fantasy, friendship, and problem-solving leaves a lasting impression of courage and camaraderie.
