A girl-powered, family-hearted, Coco-vibed Ghostbusters story set in St. Augustine, Florida! "Cracking jokes, kicking ghost butt, and being charming," 12-year-old Lucely [loo-SEL-ee] and her best friend, Syd, search for a lost book of spells and battle long-dead villains. Will Lucely's firefly family spirits, Syd's bruja grandmother Babette, and a suspiciously intelligent cat named Chunk (yes, a Goonies reference, and not the only one!) be enough help or will Lucely lose her home, her family, and the lives of everyone in her city? This is a classic ghost-hunting buddy adventure that's perfect for upper elementary, pre-teen fans of Coco, Moana, etc. Lots of pop culture and witchy adventure catnip, including retro movies and Harry Potter references throughout! It's also great on audio.
