Shadow School #2: Dehaunting

Return to Shadow School for the second installment of the spooky middle-grade series from J. A. White, the acclaimed author of Nightbooks and The Thickety series. Cordelia Liu’s first year at Shadow School was a success, where she studied hard, made friends, and sent hundreds of ghosts into the afterlife. In her second year, however, things start to change as ghosts refuse to move on, teachers act weird, and her friends Benji and Agnes lose interest in rescuing ghosts. Benji is preoccupied with a new friend from summer, while Agnes is focused on building a machine that could dehaunt the school forever. Cordelia believes something sinister is happening and it may be worse than she imagines. The book received praise for its balance of humor, mystery, and scariness, promising more thrilling adventures for Cordelia and her friends.
