Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-03 00:00:00 Bobby Robinson This book is heavy on weird characters which are mostly interesting, but occasionally just odd and seem there just to move the plot. Olivia, who can talk to and see ghosts, has to deal with being the new girl in a school of arts students- and she figures she has just mediocre talent. He father is a cook for an eccentric man. Who provides training for ghosts and soon to be ghost, in a mansion filled with water. Olivia's best friend is on a search for a plant to make her grow (she is the size of a 7 year old or so) and they end up deep in the bowels of NYC subway tunnels to find the one man who can tell her more about the plant. Along the way they deal with a Principessa who insults everyone, assassins, a sadistic art teacher, and a seamstress the likes to stick pins in her clients. Fun book written for a younger crowd than Kiki Strike. This one is less realistic and they spend much less time underground.
