Description: "The concept for this story is totally bizarre--but this book is a delight! Alice and Eleanor are sympathetic and charming characters, and Salerni develops their personalities, fashion, and physical attributes so they are easily recognizable to readers of history. . . . An immensely fun read."-- Historical Novel Society "Salerni skillfully incorporates facts about the extended Roosevelt family . . . into a lively and inventive ghost story/mystery/historical fiction mashup. . . . Although the novel is engrossing right from the start, tensions build very quicky to a thrilling, Ghostbusters -esque climax" -- The Horn Book "A spooky, fast-paced, and inventive tale. Salerni expertly blends fact and fiction, providing a glimpse of Eleanor and Alice Roosevelt's childhood that is so compelling, you almost wish the ghost parts were true."--Erin Bowman, Edgar Award-nominated author of Contagion and The Girl and the Witch's Garden "This mix of history and fantasy creates a nifty setting for a middle-grade mystery" -- Kirkus Reviews
