A haunted Broadway theater.
A ghost demanding justice.
Three kids who must follow the clues to unlock the past . . .

When Daphne, Luna, and Felix break into a shuttered theater to produce their own musical, they find it haunted by the ghost of an angry showgirl who makes a cryptic demand:

TRUTH

Daphne is already struggling with her own truth, ever since a cute older boy humiliated her in front of the drama club last spring. Now her heart is full of secrets, and she hasn't written a new song in months.

But the ghost is persistent, and the friends find themselves sleuthing through empty research libraries and abandoned theaters in a search for answers. As the hauntings escalate from spooky to deadly, can they uncover the truth of what happened a century ago and finally free their ghosts?

Told via stage play, song lyrics, letters, and more this fast-paced, accessible novel will capture any reader.
