Full Text Reviews:

School Library Journal - 11/01/2025 Gr 4–6—According to the publisher, these adventures are based on actual places "inspired by reports from real people." Thus, the venues, historical information, dates, phenomena, persons (except for story characters) are genuine. Each adventure begins with protagonists joining an organized "ghost tour" of a location and concludes with them having encountered paranormal phenomena. The text is designed to be read in short bursts to facilitate fast-paced, atmospheric reading—very suitable for this material and also appropriate for striving readers. Each volume's final chapter is a discussion of whether the locale's phenomena are real, and pits ghost hunters and their equipment (occasionally pictured) against skeptics. The narrative ultimately leaves matters open-ended, asking readers what they think. Some story conclusions are more satisfying than others. VERDICT Recommended for schools and public collections. Spooky but not too terrifying, and readers will glean a few historical tidbits as they go. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
