Alexandra Fry is in a truly awkward position. On her first day in 7th grade at a new school, the ghost of Queen Elizabeth the 1st shows up during class, demanding that she pay attention to her to help her find a missing locket that if unfound, will result in a plague. Alexandra had been hoping to avoid that type of encounter in class as all of the kids in her old school thought she was a freak.

Yep, Alexandra can see ghosts, and the ones that show up asking for her help are well-known people who are somehow tied to an object that belonged to them that has now been stolen. Experience has taught her that she can’t tell anyone, including her parents, because no one believes her. So to find the object, often finds herself being in places she shouldn’t be. This is an investigative mystery with some history thrown in.

I went ahead and grabbed this when it was available for free. As an adult reading this I’d give it a 3.5 but I could easily see how someone quite a bit younger would have more empathy for Alexandra and be captivated by her investigation and the situations she finds herself in. And for that reason I’m giving it a higher rating if it’s to be read by the target audience.

The characters and situations are interesting and the writing is good; and I found less editing/grammatical errors than most of the self-published books I’ve read.… (mehr)

Note: I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

It was a really interesting and unexpected read. The characterization was there and spot on, I felt like I knew Felix and was right there with him. It is purely an honest take on little moments in life and how things are changed because of them. Sometimes the story did go a little too in-depth with the first person narrative but overall I loved how everything flowed together.
