Have you read Maddie's Ghost? It's a wonderful family read (or listen), featuring a loving, multigenerational family, plenty of humor, a complex mystery with clues and detective work, a triumph of justice, and just the right amount of spooky. [SPOILER below - about the ghost!]

“This masterwork of emotional depth shouldn’t be left to 12-15 year olds. I am a mother old enough to know how precious the links are between generations ... Ms Saller leads us on a challenging, problem-solving search through time with a kind and responsible girl. The protagonist grows into her adult self as she helps reconstruct her emotionally fraught multigenerational family history through solid research with the help of friends, a CEO, and a excellent librarian.” – Amazon reader review of Maddie's Ghost, by Carol Fisher Saller, verified purchase
