Walk of the Spirits by Cusick - OPTIONAL

Cusick, Richie Tankersley Walk of the Spirits, 328 p. Speak (Penguin), 2008. 

MS, HS - OPTIONAL

A hurricane in Florida has driven Miranda and her mother back to Mom's childhood home, next to her loving aunt, but also to her crazy grandfather, whom her mother doesn't even want Miranda to meet. As she as she comes to town, however, Miranda starts having bad dreams. With the help of five new friends, who enfold Miranda immediately into their group, Miranda must learn about her gifts and how to use them to help troubled spirits pass out of this world. 

Miranda's story kind of reminds me of Meg Cabot's Mediator series, but with a slower pace and more friendly support. About half of the five dozen swears are of the OMG type, with no "f's" in sight. I wouldn't call this a first purchase, but it is already in paperback.
