As a hunter of Prodigium, Izzy Brannick feels more at home with a wooden stake than with kids her own age. When a ghost begins attacking the students at a high school in Ideal, Mississippi, Izzy and her mom head to the town to save them. As part of her cover, Izzy has to fit in among kids her age and get them to talk to her about what’s haunting the students. Dating, homework, friends, and high school, however, are unfamiliar to her. Can Izzy save the students of Ideal, Mississippi or will Izzy find herself above her head?
A funny, fast-paced ghost mystery for fans of paranormal. The characters are likable and entertaining as well as well-developed. The plot is engaging and keeps the reader wanting to read more. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, mystery, and paranormal investigation-type books will enjoy reading this book.
