Penny Panic Keeps Her Cool

by Avery Spooks, Mariano Epelbaum (Illustrator)

Overview

All Penny Panic wants is for her favorite SPIRIT-sponsored events to continue. What else is there to do in the afterlife but attend Dinner with the Dead potlucks, Resting in Peace Yoga classes, and Kick-the-Bucket Book Club meetings? But keeping SPIRIT alive–er, keeping it going–will require every ghost’s help. Can Penny overcome her panic to scare humans and save SPIRIT?

The Society of Paranormal, Invisible, and Restless Imps and Terrors has a problem: due to so-called “science,” the living are believing in ghosts less and less. To boost morale, SPIRIT is opening its doors to new members for the first time in centuries. But only the spookiest recruits will get to join the undead’s most esteemed organization.

About the Author

Michelle Garcia Andersen loves a good ghost story, even though she’s a bit of a scaredy-cat. She lives in southern Oregon with her husband, and they have three grown children. Michelle loves spending time outdoors and feels very grateful to live in such a beautiful state surrounded by mountains, lakes, rivers, and trees. When she is not outdoors enjoying nature, she is most likely in a quiet corner somewhere, reading a good book.
