What is it with Olivia and ghosts? No matter where Olivia Kidney goes, they follow. even when she and her klutzy handyman father start over in a new brownstone in New York City—owned by the mad, bad, and dangerous Ansel Plover—there is no escape from the weirdness that is Olivia's life. Their new living room is entirely submerged underwater, and Olivia needs a boat to navigate past the bobbing furniture and snapping turtles just to get to her bedroom. Complete strangers show up in the middle of the night to practice bumping into walls! And then, there are the ghosts. The house holds secrets, lots of them—Olivia can feel it. Why, she wonders, was she invited to live there?
Feisty olivia Kidney is back again in another zany, surreal, and ultimately satisfying adventure. (School Library Journal)
