Haint Misbehavin'

The start of a fun middle-grade series, The Ghost Handlers, follows Heather Tildy, an Atlanta teen with a troublesome habit of attracting ghosts.

Middle-child Heather has enough to worry about with sisters, boys and school. Now that a trouble-making girl from the 1800's is poking her nose in Heather's business, her life has taken a supernatural turn for the worse!

Before her life can get better, she has to figure out how to help the ghost move on.

"Ghostly fun!" -- Gillian Summers

The Faire Folk Series

"A fun package of crushes, quests for popularity, and summertime antics, tied together with a paranormal bow. Fans of Meg Cabot's Mediator novels will find much to like in Haint Misbehavin', the first of Hardegree's Ghost Handler series."

Tricia Mills, Razorbill

"In her new book, "Haint Misbehavin'," author Maureen Hardegree begins a hilarious, charming young adult series featuring a sassy teenage ghost handler who finds herself in all sorts of wacky situations due to her ghostly friends." Las Vegas Review-Journal (Sharon Gallagher Chance)

I really enjoyed HAINT MISBEHAVIN'. The way the story is written really makes it sound like a teenager speaking, and while the story seems light and fun, it touches on some deeper issues. I'm glad to see that this is the first of a series. I can't wait to see how Ms. Hardegree develops Heather's character and see what other messes she gets into! TEENSREADTOO.COM
