Town Ghosts

Two towns, two halves of one story, two ghosts, two halves of one life...

When Marnie moved with her parents from her home in busy downtown Ottawa to tiny Pryeville-- a town barely on the map-- she didn't have high hopes for any part of their new life. She'd left behind all her friends in Ottawa, just to start middle school in a building so small, both grades were taught in the same room. But meeting Sophia changed everything, sending her life spiraling along to the beat of the ethereal hooves that seemed to follow her...

For Edgar, too, life seemed like it couldn't get worse. Stuck with his cruel, uncaring father, all he wanted to do was build himself a computer and maybe figure out what his new friend, Donald, really made him feel. But with this new girl living in the town over from him, from where he lived in Sowridge, spelling trouble of a different kind, a kind he comes face to face with himself one night...

It is suddenly up to four middle schoolers to solve the mystery of the two towns and their ghosts, whatever it takes, no matter how much their lives will change in the process...
