First, about the author!
Tifani Clark grew up on a farm in southeastern Idaho (yes,
that’s where they grow all the potatoes) as the middle of five children. She
had a lot of space to imagine and daydream and often pictured herself as a
character in one of the many books she read. She was habitually found
pretending to be Scarlet O’Hara. Tifani loves mystery and hates it when one
goes unsolved. She is married to the love of her life and is the mother to four
fabulous children. When not writing, she enjoys playing the violin and piano
and traveling to new places. She especially enjoys visits to national parks and
places of historical significance.
And Now for her Fabulous Book:
Jamie Peters plans to spend the summer before her
junior year with her nose stuck in a book—not saving lost souls. Usually the
girl that blends into the crowd, Jamie’s world is turned upside down when a mysterious
ghost begins to follow her.
But Sophia isn’t just any ghost.
A hundred years earlier, Sophia’s disappearance
sparked a national mystery that remained unsolved. Jamie knows the legends
surrounding Sophia’s disappearance, but she never dreamed she would find out
what really happened . . . or that her family
might have had something to do with Sophia’s disappearance.
Determined to set Sophia free, Jamie blows the dust
off her family’s past and unearths clues to discover what she must do to save
Sophia’s soul. She enlists the help of childhood friend—and secret crush—Peter
Ashby as she sets off on a dangerous quest to find a missing map. Spending the
night in a graveyard, crawling through a dilapidated barn, and staring down the
barrel of a gun aren’t enough to deter Jamie from helping Sophia. But can she
find the answers she needs before another ghost gets revenge on her and Sophia?
Review:
I enjoyed this book. It's a fun ghost story that makes ghosts not quite so scary as I always imagined them to be. It's a great story of friendship, helping ghost, researching history, and love. It was an easy read and moved pretty fast. I enjoyed the story, and I loved how she went into the history that showed Sophia's story and gave us insight and made us feel for her and her plight. The more the story came out the more intriguing the book became. I really found myself captivated. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good, clean, paranormal YA story.
