This middle grade story has a lot going for it. Stix is in his first year of middle school and with his anxiety and panic attacks, he's not prepared for what he's going to find... Especially when he sees 3 ghosts that no one else can see. They need his help to help them move on.

Stix is a good kid and he wants to help as he can but the biggest obstacle is going to be helping Jesse because his brother is Xander, a bully. I really liked that Stix learned that people may not always be as bad or mean as they seem- sometimes we need to look closer to see the hurt and find the reason someone might be lashing out. Stix also learns that life may take away friends at one time or another but the blame isn't always on one person.
