Description

Eleven-year-old Amelia is sick of living in New Orleans' foster system. She wants a place she can call her own, with parents who understand her macabre sense of humor. Still, being adopted by ghosts wasn't what she had in mind. When she learns that Ted and Darlene Gates, her otherwise perfect foster parents, were killed in a car crash many years ago and now work as Gatekeepers to the Underworld, Amelia must decide whether she wants to be adopted into their unorthodox family. Even as she warms to the idea, Amelia learns that someone has it out for the life she is learning to love. With her new mom "ghost-napped" on Halloween and her new dad at a loss for what to do, Amelia must race against the clock to put her chance at happiness back together. This novel is perfect for readers who enjoyed books like Doll Bones by Holly Black or Coraline by Neil Gaiman.
