On this shoot, only Tania is the one that sees the ghost and the only one she confides in is Jon. They do their own research to figure out who the ghost is and see if there is anything they can do to help. Thirteen-year-old Jon and his eleven-year-old sister, Tania, are typical kids, except for the fact that Tania can communicate with ghosts. Their mom and stepdad are producers of a ghost-hunter reality television show, but they have no idea that Tania possesses this ability, and Tania wants to keep it that way. While filming at an old hotel in Colorado, Jon and Tania find themselves trapped in a ghostly love story that happened more than a century ago. Local legend has it that a ghost bride still wanders the hotel, waiting for her lost husband. Can this fearless brother-sister duo reunite a newlywed couple, and put these ghosts to rest at last? A nice ghost story, with some interesting twists. I particularly liked the narrator, who is very like a number of teenage boys I've known, intelligent, sweet, caring, protective and very embarrassed if anyone finds out about those characteristics. I also appreciated the lack of artificial sibling conflict - given the life situation of the characters, one would expect them to treat each other gently. The characters are portrayed as young and inexperienced, but not stupid. They catch on to the clues nearly as quickly as the reader does. Overall, worth owning.

Carefully crafted example of how a character can address larger issues (the complexity of parents' divorce and remarriage, grief for the death of a younger sister, fear for the health of another sibling) through a tight, logically planned examination of a smaller issue: uncovering the history behind a haunting.
