\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Lurking spirits,
Mom mourning loss,
stories hide secrets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When 12 year old Rosie decides it’s time to burn the stories she’s written to fill the empty spaces in herself, the old seaside house that she shares with so-forgetful<\/a> Mom is filled with ghosts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her best friend Germ (really Gemma) starts liking makeup and boys, but Rosie has other things to worry about, like bringing her widowed mom back to the present long enough to sign progress reports so no one suspects her lack of attention to the sixth grader and her obsession with watching the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ghosts she can now see<\/a> lead Rosie to an ancient book, The Witch Hunter’s Guide<\/em>, that reveals much about her family history and perhaps why Mom can’t remember Rosie from day to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow Germ also begins to see the ghosts (when not practicing with mean girl Bibi for the talent show!) who lead them to hidden buildings and warn that the 13 witches controlling the world know Rosie is coming into her powers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s keeping the ghosts tethered to her New England town?
Can Rosie and Germ escape the Memory Thief’s cursing touch?
Could they rescue “him floating out there” that Mom is longing for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First in a new trilogy by the author of My Diary From the Edge of the World<\/em> (recommended here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What family story do you want more details about?
