Hildy Biddle's life goal is to become a well-known journalist just like her deceased father. So when a house in her small hometown is claimed to be haunted, she knows that this is the story that could make it or break it for her. When the safety of the town is threatened by this mysterious "ghost", Hildy and the other teenagers working on the high school paper leap into action. All they want it for people to know that truth- how hard can that be? Well, throughout the course of this book, they learn that although getting the truth out can be incredibly hard, it is absolutely worth fighting for.

I really liked this book. It kept my attention for the most part, although there were spots that seemed to drag on a little. There was a perfect balance of mystery, romance, humor, and suspense that made me want to read it all the way through without stopping (which I practically did). It was a little short, but that's okay. Overall, this was an awesome book!
