About the Book

Eight-year-old Olivia "Liv" Livingston loves her town Pleasant Place, but when her family moves to spooky Gloomsdale, she must learn to adjust to this ghost town where its residents are all from various decades and centuries, the hall monitors are bats, and some students have fangs.

Book Synopsis

The only living girl in a ghost town struggles to find her place in the first book in the Spirited graphic chapter book series.

Olivia "Liv" Livingston thinks life on the right side of Narrow Bridge is, well, just right! What's not to love about the perfect town of Pleasant Place? But then her parents pack up and move the family to the left, spooky side of the bridge...right into Gloomsdale.

Liv quickly learns that life is going to be very different, especially in a ghost town...literally. The town looks antique, some students have gleaming fangs, and let's just say her new house might be haunted. Will Gloomsdale dampen Liv's spirits? Or can she creep it real and find her place?
