Cass is in Paris with her parents while they continue their tour to film haunted cities.  Ever since Cass almost died but was saved by her now ghostly best friend Jacob, she has been able to see the ghosts of the dead.  While in Paris she comes across a child ghost named Thomas, who has powers and causes mischief.  Cass has never had to help a poltergeist crossover before, but if she doesn’t help Thomas on his way, she’s afraid she will lose those she loves.  

I love the City of Ghosts books.   They are creepy without being gruesome and Cass is a fun heroine.  These are clean and easy to recommend to your readers who like to be spooked.  I hope there are more in this series.
