Set in a small Midwestern town in the early twentieth century, this middle-grade historical fantasy series follows the sharp-tongued daughter of a local fortune teller who discovers she has genuine supernatural abilities — including the power to see and communicate with the dead — and repeatedly stumbles into ghostly mysteries. The series blends period atmosphere, dry humor, and light supernatural mystery in a voice-driven story centered on an unconventional and resourceful young heroine.
In 1913 rural Missouri, thirteen-year-old Alexander encounters the ghost of a young girl and must help her find peace while navigating the social dynamics of his small town. A gentle, humorous ghost story from a Newbery Medal-winning author. First in the Blossom Culp series.
