BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
6th grader Lucy moved to Alaska with her scientist mother in October and has been doing online school with her classmates, because of the icy, snowy danger. When school is supposed to be IRL, (in-person), all she finds is a burnt out husk of a building. What is going on? Then she stumbles upon the graveyard - each tombstone bearing the name of one of her classmates. Something sinister happens and something sinister wants Lucy!
A nicely tense horror book with a believable (usually) plot - I loved the idea of ghosts using Zoom to go to school.
