The Lost Library meets Not Quite a Ghost in this middle grade horror novel about a girl uncovering secrets about her new, haunted home.
The only thing worse than having ghost hunters for parents is having fake ghost hunters for parents. Luna Catalano would know. Her moms are haunted house flippers who use their home reno skills and pretend psychic powers to turn spooky old houses into ghost-free modern homes. Not only does their job require the family to move all the time--meaning Luna is completely friendless--but the only thing haunting any of those houses is bad decor. For once Luna wishes there was an actual, for-real ghost.
When they move yet again, Luna isn't expecting much. But this house feels... different. Things start out innocent enough--items not where they should be, strange noises--but soon things turn sinister. Her moms are waking up with cuts and bruises, and disturbing drawings showing them with even worse injuries are being left in Luna's room. With the help of her next-door neighbors and a mysterious woman who seems to know a lot about the home, Luna starts to piece together what exactly happened in that house before she moved in. But not everything is as it seems. In order to save her moms, Luna will have to get the story right before everything goes completely wrong.
Stonewall Honor-winning author Justine Pucella Winans returns with another middle grade horror with heart about friendship, family, and the stories we tell when real life feels too scary.©2023 Justine Pucella Winans (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Critic Reviews
* Winans summons a quirky cast of characters and plenty of cats to her horror-comedy. Luna is a treasure of a protagonist, whose struggles with loneliness and IBS give depth to her innate weirdness (a compliment!) and paranormal passion.
* In this atmospheric ghost story, Winans conjures satisfying, spine-tingling scares and a cozy mystery alongside quiet moments of adolescent uncertainty.
* Sweet meets spooky—and it’s absolutely spectacular.
Eerie, captivating… [A] suspenseful, uplifting mystery.
River's very human struggles with facing fears, learning to trust in allies, and being
truthful about themselves will resonate with many tweens, even the non-magical kind.

This reluctant hero will mean the world to many readers and be beloved by all.
[An] emotionally complex portal fantasy. . . . This middle grade debut offers up a panoply
of nightmarish ghouls and harrowing perils, but the real appeal comes from tender
interpersonal ties and themes of self-discovery.

An excitingly suspenseful portal horror led by a cleverly humorous, adorably queer, and
intrepid nonbinary tween. . . . The Otherwoods is creepy fun with a queer heart.
