"Ace plotting, snappy dialogue, unexpected twists, and an exhilarating finale will have readers eager for more." — Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In true Hawkins fashion, School Spirits combines romance, intrigue, and the paranormal with humor and high-school drama." — Booklist Fifteen-year-old Izzy Brannick was trained to fight monsters. For centuries, her family has hunted magical creatures—and Izzy is the last of her line. But when Izzy's older sister vanishes without a trace, Izzy's mom decides they need to take a break from the Brannicks' age-old calling. As Izzy and her mom move on to Ideal, Mississippi, however, they discover the town is not as normal as it appears. A series of hauntings has been plaguing the local high school, and Izzy is determined to prove her worth and investigate. But assuming the guise of an average teenager is easier said than done. First, her clothes are all wrong. Second, what are these things called "friends?" Third, there's a boy named Dex making her heart skip—but not in a bad way . . .so, that's weird. Izzy's training taught her never to get attached, but she doesn't know if she can solve the case alone. Can she trust her new friends to find the secret behind the hauntings before more people get hurt? "[Hawkins's] characterizations shine as original and funny." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An exciting paranormal romance that provides a dynamic and riveting plot line that will keep readers eagerly turning pages." — VOYA
