No Such Thing by Ella Bailey

Ok, so I sought this book out through ILL after seeing it on shelf after shelf of Insta-moms. It seemed to be a must-have for that set for their Halloween book displays at home, and I was intrigued.
ZERO copies in my entire local library system, little odd as it published in 2014. One would think there would be at least one copy.
Checked Amazon. Its out of print, with copies being sold 2nd hand for HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS?! What? How amazing could this book be?
So thankful I was able to get it through ILL. And my take?
Its cute? (Little girl investigates the odd goings-on, sure that their is a logical, non-paranormal answer (while the reader can spot the ghost causing mischief on every page) )
But *seriously* not worth that much (especially if you are buying it for appearances sake online...). I've seen rumors of a reprinting, which would make a lot of sense for the publisher given its popularity on social media (literally have seen parents say they're going to ask their libraries if they can buy their copies off them... and I doubt they're cluing their children's librarian in to its cult status & price).
