I think I'm too old for this book, because it just seemed cheesy. Although the characters are teenagers, the action seems like it's for 4th graders. In fact, with younger characters, I think this could be a hit for tweens. I'm amazed that it's published under the Speak imprint, which is usually more for teenagers. Miranda Barnes loses everything in a hurricane in Florida, so she and her mother have to move back to St. Yvette, Louisiana, her mother's hometown. Miranda is told she can't speak to her crazy grandfather, but she does on the day he dies. He "sees" ghosts and he tells her that she has the gift, too. And, of course, she does. Spirits talk to her, and her new friends believe her. Torn between the handsome cousins Etienne and Gage (cheezy romance scenes), Miranda must rely on her new friends to help her solve a Confederate mystery.
