Thirteen-year-old Sam Sanchez can see and talk to ghosts. This spring, the Sanchez family made camp at Charleston, South Carolina. Sam has heard some exciting things about Charleston, but none beats that it is, in fact, one of America’s most haunted cities. Wars, hurricanes, earthquakes, and even slavery have left thousands upon thousands of souls searching endlessly for a family or a home that no longer exists. One such ghost inhabits an old plantation near Sam’s campsite, scaring away buyers and anyone trying to work on it. When Sam and his best friend, Rocky, encounter the ghost, they are not only spooked, they are thrilled! Discover why Sam may just be the most talented ghost-seer with Carla Solomon’s A Ghostly Blue.
From Carla Solomon, the award-winning author of A Ghostly Twist, comes A Ghostly Blue, a gripping YA novel about the unseen world of ghosts. It's spooky, but also inspiring, with themes of courage, friendship, kindness, and resilience in the face of danger. Even deeper, it explores the power of compassion, hope, forgiving, letting go, and believing in something greater. As friends search for clues, family ties, and a place they can call home, the supernatural comes calling, and long-hidden secrets come to light. A Ghostly Blue is haunting, brilliantly researched, and masterfully delivered. Solomon is a master storyteller. Her descriptions grab you, and the plot unfolds seamlessly with ever-growing suspense, intensity, and characters so real they evoke emotions. I love deliciously creepy ghost mysteries and adrenaline-packed action. This one is my favorite of 2025. A Ghostly Blue is unputdownable.
