Hail to another wonderful curse, ghost story, haunted house middle-grade to enrich our #spookyseason with a main character who has a very serious choice ahead of her: Find the gigantic diamond hidden in her house to save the ghosts or find it to get her life back in NY. I felt I was living in that peculiar fun town and loved to see the main character's struggle.
Father and daughter moved from NY to a strange town in Florida where they take their ghosts and curses quite seriously, but all Charlie wants is to go back to NY and doesn't try to understand what is around her. The ghosts living in her house need her help. If she finds the cursed demons hidden in her house and throws the diamond into the ocean, they'll be free. But a Dimond can be the money they need to return to NY. A tale of ghosts but also grief, of losing a grandparent, of moving away from all that is known, of forgiveness, new friendships, and doing what is right.

In this middle-grade mystery, eleven year old Charlie moves from NYC to Florida only to find herself in the haunted Winklevoss Manor. To her surprise, she’s not alone—she’s joined by three mischievous ghosts cursed for snatching a dead man’s diamond.After twelve-year-old Charlie moves from New York City to sweaty, sticky Florida, she’ll do anything to get back home.Even if it involves ghosts.Winklevoss Manor, Charlie’s new house, is a towering Victorian mansion famous for one thing—it’s haunted. Three ghosts—Ada, Arthur, and Guff—live there, and not by choice. They’re trapped, cursed for stealing a dead man’s diamond. A diamond that, just like the ghosts, is still in the house. And this gets Charlie thinking. . .Maybe if she can find the diamond and sell it, Charlie’s family could have enough money to move back to the city. But lifting the curse isn’t that simple, especially when she’s pitted against the school bully and three unruly spirits. It’s frightening to think about, but what if the only way to get rid of the ghosts and curses is by doing what Charlie fears the most—confronting the past that haunts her?
