Description: "Even more impressive than the shiver-factor is the way the author skillfully uses the compelling premise to present a strong, consistent message of not rejecting what you don't understand." - Booklist (starred review) "Weaving together a ghost story, a complex family drama, a tale of self-discovery --all with a creeping, growing terror lurking in the shadows--Ellen Oh has created a novel that is ever so much more than the sum of its parts. I read this story breathlessly, desperately, in a fever. And then I read it again. And then again. Balancing fear and humor and heartache, Spirit Hunters is a page-turning, spine tingling delight. I absolutely loved it." - Kelly Barnhill, Newbery Award winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon "Like all of my favorite ghost stories, Spirit Hunters is a pulse-pounding read, filled with nonstop thrills, shocking twists, and-most important-heaps of heart!" - Dan Poblocki, author of The Ghost of Graylock "Like all of my favorite ghost stories, Spirit Hunters is a pulse-pounding read, filled with nonstop thrills, shocking twists, and-most important-heaps of heart! I'm not sure which is more frightening for Harper Raine: moving to a new city, discovering strange secrets about her family's history, or worrying that her little brother has become friends with a vengeful apparition. But Spirit Hunters isn't just another scary story. The ghosts that haunt Ellen Oh's tale will make young readers take a closer look at the world around them, hug their families tightly, and think twice before making assumptions about people . . . both living and dead." - Dan Poblocki, author of The Ghost of Graylock "Oh has crafted a truly chilling middle grade horror novel that will grab readers' imaginations." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The well-rounded and diverse cast provides interesting cultural touchstones of Korean and Jamaican heritage throughout the novel. Korean shamanism, specifically, is explored with respect and curiosity. Combining Korean-American experience with ancient cultural traditions for a new twist on exorcism, this tale's for beginning horror fans and readers looking for a decent scare." - Kirkus Reviews "This mystery thriller infused with diverse characters and intriguing themes will appeal to horror fans and to reluctant readers who enjoy a good scare." - School Library Journal "Balancing fear and humor and heartache, Spirit Hunters is a page-turning, spine tingling delight.
