Content: G (mild danger)
BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
12yo Claire hates helping her dad on his ghost tours of Chicago, but this time she can’t get out of it. Then at one of the stops, a strange boy, who she didn’t notice earlier, is on the bus after the others have left. He looks decidedly old-fashioned and --- wet? Then the boy disappears and she finds only a paper with the number 396 on it. She’d ask her best friend to help her figure this out, but they have had a misunderstanding. Claire’s search will take her a large disaster in Chicago’s history.
I don’t want to give away plot spoilers – which I would if I told you more about the disaster. The story is more detective novel than ghost story as Claire tries to find the boy’s identity; the scare factor is mild.
