The Ghost Mysteries series by Cynthia C. DeFelice is a four-book middle grade series starring Allie Nichols, a girl who keeps running into ghosts with unfinished business. Each book puts Allie in contact with a different spirit who needs her help solving a mystery tied to their death or disappearance.
The series started with The Ghost of Fossil Glen in 1998 and continued with The Ghost and Mrs. Hobbs (2001), The Ghost of Cutler Creek (2004), and The Ghost of Poplar Point (2007). The books work well as standalone reads since each features a new ghost and a new mystery, though returning readers will enjoy watching Allie grow over the course of the series. These are great picks for kids who want a little spookiness mixed with detective work.
