The Crossroads by Chris Grabenstein 329 pages
Chris Grabenstein is well-known for his Mr. Lemoncello series and for working with James Patterson on books like I, Funny. You can imagine my surprise, then, that he could be such an effective and chilling horror writer. This story is still very accessible to children, probably 5th grade and up would be the recommendation, but there were some very spooky bits. This is the first in a series where the protagonist, Zach Jennings, not only sees ghosts, but interacts with them and solves mysteries with his super cool stepmom. Grabenstein has proven that he can write exceptional stories for all ages. I think teens and adults who enjoy a ghost story with personality and lots of atmosphere would enjoy this one, too.
