Enter the world of The Last Resort, where ghosts step right off the page and readers can talk to spirits from the past to help solve the mystery!

Twelve-year-old Lila has two goals for the summer: win back the friends who ditched her for being “too dramatic” — and stop being so dramatic.

But everything changes when her estranged Grandpa Clem dies. Now Lila must spend the summer in Ohio while her parents decide what to do with his creepy Victorian inn. On the way there, the family survives a frightening car accident. No one is hurt — but from that moment on, things start to feel… strange. At every rest stop, Lila sees people no one else can see or hear.

On the day of the funeral, she spots an old man sitting in her grandfather’s favourite chair.

It’s Grandpa Clem.

And he didn’t die of a heart attack — he was murdered.

The inn isn’t just a bed and breakfast. It’s a portal between the land of the living and the realm of the dead — a hotel for ghosts on their way to the afterlife. With the help of her skeptical brother Caleb and their ghost-obsessed neighbour Teddy, Lila must uncover her grandfather’s killer and stop the evil spirits trying to cross back into the human world.

A groundbreaking, spooky new series that lets readers interact with ghosts and help solve the mystery themselves — the next evolution in storytelling from New York Times bestselling, Newbery Medal–winning author Erin Entrada Kelly.

Perfect for Halloween!
