From acclaimed author Linda Urban comes the funny, bittersweet story of a girl and her ghostsтАФand the welcoming home they find where they least expect it.
California Poppy has been dropped off, yet again, with an unsuspecting relative. This time itтАЩs her eccentric Great-Aunt Monica, a woman sheтАЩs never even met. Aunt Monica has no idea what to do with an eleven-year-old, so she puts California to work researching their ancestor, the once-famous etiquette expert Eleanor Fontaine.
California soon discovers that Great-Great-Great Aunt Eleanor is...not exactly alive and well, but a ghostтАФand a super sensitive one at that. The grand dame bursts into clouds of dust whenever she loses her composure, which happens quite often. Still, an unexpected four-legged friend and some old-fashioned letter writing make this decidedly strange situation one that California can handle.
Just as CaliforniaтАЩs starting to feel like sheтАЩs found a place for herself, life turns upside-down yet again. Thankfully, this time she has some friends almost by her side...
