Clay has spent years lost in his own world. Losing more than he knows how to talk about, he keeps to himself, moving through lifelike a shadow. School is noise, the city feels too big, and the world seems determined to keep taking. Then a ghost shows up. Not a dramatic, doom-filled, gothic ghost... no. Clay gets J. P, a jittery, half-torn handkerchief who's too goofy to haunt anyone properly. He's the cheapest ghost for hire in the life after, and somehow, he's assigned to scare Clay. He fails. But what starts as a mistaken haunting becomes something Clay didn't expect: company. Warmth. A tiny, floating reminder that he's still allowed to laugh, to feel, to let someone in, even if that someone is technically dead. Yet J. P has mysteries of his own... Together, they'll have to face lost things, hidden things, and the aching spaces left behind after someone you love is gone. Full of humor, heart, and soft, eerie magic, Cheapest Ghost for Hire is a story about grief, found comfort, and the unexpected ways two lonely souls... one human, one handkerchief, can save each other.
