Twin Disasters

Rita Toma's new Young Adult mystery, the latest in a series featuring a trio of young crime solvers, takes hero Megan's ability to see and talk with ghosts a step farther: the ghosts of the victims assist in the investigation. Laced with humor, the story is fast-paced, and the characters are eminently relatable. Beyond the basic mystery is another layer that is perhaps equally important: the plight of teens who fall prey to grown-ups and peers alike. The lessons learned are worth the price alone, but the twists and turns will keep you turning the pages, wondering where the clues lead.
