Shannon is excited about spending a week at her friend Rina's house, but she's a little nervous too. Rina seems to be able to do everything better than she can and her home is chaotic compared to Shannon's own. When things fall apart, Rina's grandmother is there to tell them a story from her past, early in the Second World War. The story is about a rift between her and her childhood friend, Mitsu, a rift that could never be healed because Mitsu and her family were taken away from the small town of Paldi and interned with other Japanese Canadians. Rina's grandmother, Jas, never saw Mitsu again. That is, not until Shannon and Rina find a handful of forgotten beads in the bottom of a cardboard box.

The Reunion
I borrowed this audiobook, not realizing that it is the fourth book in the Ghosthunters series by Cornelia Funke. I decided to finish it anyway, since it's such a short story.
The narrator does a great job portraying the various characters and the story is dramatic and exciting. I don't know if I'll go back and listen to the first three books, but I will keep this series in mind when I'm looking for a fast, fun read.
This story involves ghosts, demons, and other paranormal phenomena. The descriptions of the ghosts and ephemeral aspects of ghost hunting are quite descriptive. And the story is filled with crazy acronyms (which are defined within the narrative as well as included in Appendices at the end of the book).
The author recommends not reading the book after dark, and some children may find this book a bit too scary. In that case, I would suggest that they listen to the audiobook, since the comical voices used by the narrator help to offset the scary parts,.
interesting quotes (page numbers from hardcover edition with ISBN13 9780439862684):
"People discover you're a bit younger than normal, and they all start acting as if you couldn't tell the difference between an ASG and an IRG." (p. 3)
"The things humans do when they are afraid." (p. 121)
