School Spirits

Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. But since her sister, Finley, disappeared while on a job, Izzy's mom decides they need a break from the Brannick's age-old calling. Izzy is determined to prove herself, however. She and her mom head to Ideal, Mississippi, a town that's not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings have been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy's cover is to act like an average teenager and investigate. But the unexpected accessories to Izzy's high-schooler disguise are friends. For a girl who's always been on her own, it's strange to suddenly have people who care about her. And with a warlock vying for her attention and a quirky boy at school making Izzy lose her focus, being a normal teen is tough. Could this boy Dex be linked to the ghosts? And does he know something Izzy doesn't? Rachel Hawkins' delightful spin-off brings the same wit, romance and charm as the best-selling Hex Hall series. Get ready for more magic, mystery and romance.
