Rosa is feisty as well as totally competent, and her no- nonsense ways match the plot's breakneck speed...The story behind the haunting is intriguing, and it's skillfully revealed in bits and pieces, but it never overshadows Rosa's much more interesting spirit hunting. Kids who prefer Ghostbusters to Goosebumps will find this right up their alley. -- "BCCB"
