I rated this 4.5/5.
Ghost Hunters: Bones in the wall, follows the story of 12 year old Alex, who was involved in a terrible accident that cost him his future career in sports. After waking up, however, Alex starts to notice that he has gained the ability to talk to ghosts! In the universe Susan McCauley has created, ghosts are no simple fictional creatures, but are common knowledge throughout the world. In this fresh take on a haunted tale, wards against ghosts are common practice and monitored by the government, psychic’s are practically a part of the police department, and 101: on how to prevent a haunting is essentially part of the school curriculum!
This book is an excellent introduction to this new middle grade paranormal series. The characters are entertaining and relatable, and there are heartwarming relationships developed throughout. It is an excellent story for new young readers who want to branch out into the paranormal genre. The ghosts are extremely well written and described, and the development of Alex’s new abilities are very well realised. I honestly had such fun reading this book, I literally could not put it down once I had started, and finished it in one sitting.
Conclusion: I would 100% recommend this book to all ages, not just middle grade. I adored the fresh take on how ghosts are perceived throughout the world. I have honestly not read a book like it before and I cannot wait to pick up the rest of the series!
