The Night Train -- Lorelei Savaryn, Hardcover

The past has come calling in the town of Hush, and for one girl, that means facing her ghosts. Perfect for fans of the satisfyingly scary Small Spaces quartet!

Maddie Maverick likes to win. Whether it's track team races or one-liners she delivers on her parents' home renovation show, Maddie knows that if she puts in the work, she'll always come out on top. But things take a turn when her ghost-hunting nana passes away, and Maddie and her twin sister, Nat, discover that Nana left them an unexpected inheritance: They can now see ghosts just like she did.

While Nat is totally on board to try to help some spirits find peace, a ghostly calling is just not Maddie's speed. So when history comes back to haunt their town, and the story of a decades-old train crash rears its ugly head, Maddie wants nothing to do with the ghosts of days long gone. But one ghost in particular won't go away, and Maddie might just be the only one with the power to help her--that is, if she can survive the Night Train herself.

In this eerie tale by beloved author Lorelei Savaryn, one girl's determination to bring long-hidden secrets to light might just change her town--and herself--forever.
