Staff Pick
A spooky and fun middle-grade thriller about two best friends who cast a spell that accidentally invokes evil spirits, this one is packed with ’80s pop culture references, lots of humor, and a lovely storyline about family and remembering those we've lost. I couldn't put it down! Recommended By Ariel K., Powells.com
