Something Upstairs by Avi

4 stars

Interesting.... mildly creepy... and kind of weird.

And apparently based on a story Avi was told by a kid he met.... so it's a "true" story... maybe.

Boy meets ghost, ghost takes boy back in time, boy must solve ghost's murder.

Probably would appeal to late elem./middle school boys, I would think.  Especially ones that like mystery and history.

Set in Rhode Island, so New Englanders might get more out of it than us Westerners, lol.
