This was a really fun and spooky read that I think is perfect for middle grade readers around nine or ten years old. The story has just the right balance of mystery, light scares, and humor, with a heroine who is easy to relate to and a setting that feels both cozy and eerie.

I enjoyed the way the book captures the Halloween spirit while keeping things accessible and never too frightening. It is short, fast paced, and engaging from start to finish, making it a great choice for kids who want to dip their toes into horror without it being overwhelming.

A creative and entertaining story that feels like a perfect introduction to spooky tales for younger readers.

So first I love this cover, and I don't think there are enough wonderful little middle school horror books. This one is fun -- it's easy to relate to Sissy, who is not part of the in crowd but who has a vivid imagination and cool friends. She discovers that her grandmother's old hair accessory helps her see ghosts, but it's perfect for her Halloween costume.
I liked the story itself but also the relationships with her family, including her grandmother, who is forgetting things but I suspect may know more about what's happening. This is a great start to this series.
