Minnow Mayberry Talks to Ghosts

By Jennifer Wolf Kam

After surviving the car crash her mother died in, 12-year-old Minnow Mayberry moves with her kooky aunt Elaine to the slightly ramshackle Long Island shore town of Pickling Forks. The accident left Minnow with the ability to see and talk to ghosts, which is an interesting coincidence since Pickling Forks seems to be jam-packed with them. Minnow soon discovers that a powerful paranormal storm called the Vortex is sucking away the town's spirits before they can complete their unfinished business on Earth and cross over to the AfterLife. But why are there so many spirits here to begin with? And is the reason connected to the terrifying Vortex? And most important to Minnow, in a town filled to the gills with the Previously Living, why she can't find the one ghost she most wants to talk to?

Gorgeously written and utterly unique, this atmospheric, multi-layered middle-grade debut offers up a generous dollop of humor and heart in addition to spinetingling twists and turns.
