Alannah Malarra uses her psychic powers to hunt demons. She created a website called “goawayghosts.com” that helps fund the search for her lost parents. With the help of her associate, named Flint, she snags ghosts and ghouls and steals their treasures to help buy food and pay rent on her home. As Alannah has been stripping the ghosts of their goods, she does not realize that they are part of a big crime ring that has been going on for centuries. This book is filled with all kinds of adventures and characters from real to spiritual to rock formations. This is really a fun read and I think our students will enjoy it.
