Tessa has just moved to Chicago from Florida and isn't happy about it. She had to leave sunny beaches and her best friend. And she has moved into a haunted house. She keeps hearing crying noises and something is drawing on her sketchpad. With the help of her new friends Andrew and Nina, she has to figure out who is haunting her and why. 

So one of of my biggest pet peeves is poorly edited books and this one had som eglaring mistakes that would have been such an easy fix and should have been spotted by an editor. 

Page 12: I crawled into bed without even brushing my teeth. 
Page 15: Somehow it looks darker than it did when I was brushing my teeth last night.

Page 106: Today is Thursday.
Page 109: It only happens once a week - on Wednesdays...
Page 129: Today is Wednesday...

Such obvious mistakes that would have been super easy to fix. It clouded my whole opinion of the book, which wasn't terrible, but wasn't spectacular either. Typical ghost story for middle grade.
