I picked it up from the library free bin. I don't necessarily regret reading it all the way through, but the quote below tanked my opinion of this book and author.

 "the world must have changed a great deal since the girl last saw it. Maybe boys wear skirts and play with dolls now. Maybe children take their grandparents for rides in baby buggies. How silly. She giggled at the very idea." (58)

It's embedded in a section about the ghost character's opinion on the modern people's weird clothes, but that addition is pointed, even if I give the author the benefit of the doubt that it could be an unconscious bias, especially in a book published in 2018.

It feels like an insane critique for me to make of an award winning children's author, but she's kind of bad at writing children. This book is deeply disjointed and the kids are so formal. They don't really talk like children. The plot isn't particularly well-explained either, but I read it in one day and it read like something I would have bodied and then forgot about in early middle school.
