Ghosts only haunt when they've left something behind...

With the help of new friends, this duo sets off to discover who Edgar was and why he’s haunting Henry. Together, they might just help Edgar find what he needs to finally be at peace.
What the Critics Said:
“Convincing, humorous, warm, and definitely spooky” —Kirkus
“By turns hilarious and macabre, this serves up chills, laughs, and even some life lessons through the antics of an unlikely group of friends.” -Booklist
“Children will love the fast-paced narrative and pulse-pounding adventure.” -School Library Journal
“Siebel’s writing is filled with clever turns of phrase . . . and Barbara Anne’s limited sense of self-awareness makes her an amusing narrator. The depictions of Edgar’s presence . . . deliver age-appropriate chills.” -Horn Book
