More mysterious happenings in need of investigating, this time at Claire's school. Another great entry in The Haunted Library series. While these are best read in order, there's enough backtracking and explanation of past events, that one could still enjoy this without having read the first two.
While Claire and Kaz investigate the odd occurrences surrounding the school play, they also come across some clues that bring them closer to finding Kaz's family and discover some surprising new details along the way. Great balance of self-contained mystery and progress in the overarching story.
I also really appreciate Damant's detailed illustrations. First off, they are adorable. But I also enjoy when she provides a clue in the pictures that isn't immediately evident in the narration. It keeps readers on their toes and adds another element to the story.
Definitely enjoying this series. My library only has the first three books but I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the others to continue this series and find out what's in store for Kaz and Claire.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

That was a fun read! Glad Kaz learnt a ghost skill in this book and used it to help someone. It's really hard to give a spoiler free review on a 128-page book and one with a simple story to begin with. All I can say is I enjoyed he book and I liked how the main character grows in the series so far. The ghostly mysteries are also fun to read. Another book to recommend my students. Well actually, I'm recommending the whole series because I want to know whether Kaz finds his family in the end and I'm sure my students would want to know too.

A fun series continues with Kaz and Claire having adventures at Claire's school and finding evidence that Kaz's mom has been in the school at some point since the family haunt was torn down.
