Description
Cassandra doesn’t believe in ghosts. She’s about to run out of other explanations.
Chaperoning two ten-year-olds through a college Halloween scavenger hunt should be easy: take a selfie at the founder’s headstone, hit the next clue, win the volleyball tickets. Cassandra Sato loses track of her friends’ kids for only a few minutes. That’s all it takes.
Tony comes back with a chunk of lava rock. Jessica signs about soldiers marching through a cornfield, with Tony interpreting since Cassandra’s ASL only gets her so far.
Kids make things up, kids get scared, kids fill in gaps with imagination. These two don’t budge. Cassandra’s certainty is the only thing that does.
A quick, atmospheric Halloween mystery with authentic ASL representation, Hawaiian folklore, and a ghost story that never loses its sense of fun. Cassandra Sato fans will love the visit to Morton College. It’s also a perfect first step up for tween readers ready to grow past picture books.
