All the Lovely Bad Ones by Mary Downing Hahn

All The Lovely Bad Ones is written for older elementary students & middle school students. I wasn't really impressed with the story. It's okay. Fine for school libraries but not my favorite.

The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard

The Ghost Cat is a brilliant story that follows a cat after he passes on. He has an attatchment to the little girl who rescued him and watches her as a ghost over years when he returns in different periods of time. And he also gets to see his home changes over time. A good read and travel through history.

Gallant by Victoria E. Schwab

Gallant is a dark ghost story with the required odd orphan. It works. It is dark. I listened to the audiobook. It's fine for any school library.

Ferris by Kate DiCamillo

Ferris has one loving family that are also very quirky. It's a sweet story and the audiobook is also fine. It's fine for middle school libraries.

Sheine Lende by Darcie Little Badger

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/190854829-sheine-lende I am impressed with this story. THe audio book is well done. This is the story of a teen who goes in search of missing people and then it becomes more personal when her mother goes missing. Told in Sheine's perspective and filled with backstories that fit in perfectly. A good book to add to any high school library. A good read for sure!

A Thousand Steps Into Night by Traci Chee

 

This is a great book to add to your high school library.  It's a good read and is set in a medieval Asian culture.  Add this one to your library collection.  The audio book also very good.  Enjoy.

Pony by R. J. Palacio

This is a multi layered book.  A good read and very engaging.  Ghosts, bad guys and steeped in a past time.  There's a murder mystery and one determined young lad.  A good read.  Add this to your school library for middle school and upper elementary.
 

An Inquiry into Love and Death by Simone St. James

 This is a modern gothic tale of a murder mystery.  There is a ghost story that terrorizes the locals but there is also two more mysteries in the story.  It's an interesting read.  Not a cozy read but more of a dark mystery.

The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly by Rebecca Ansari

 I really didn't like this story because it's so muddled.  

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

 The story is fine just a bit different.  I don't know if I'd pick it for my high school library.  I think it will appeal to a small group of readers.  

Cassidy Blake Bridge Of Souls by Victoria Schwab

 

It's a nice series to add to a middle school library collection.  There are three main characters that team up and help each other send ghosts on to their journey and leave where they are stuck at.  Enjoy.

Midnight At The Barclay Hotel by Fleur Bradley

 I love murder mysteries and this one is perfect for middle school libraries.  Plus it has ghosts.  Add this one to your school library.  Enjoy.

Jackaby Ghostly Echoes By William Ritter

 If the TV show Supernatural show was set in the late 1800's/early 1900s, you would have the Jackaby series.  It's a great read.  A dark read but also really good.  I plan on getting the series for my school library.  Audio book also good.  Enjoy.

Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour

 Wow this is one intense read.  I couldn't put it down.  It's different but I think it would be fine for high school libraries.  Very dark and then charged with emotion at the end.

Bailey Ruth Ghost at Work by Carolyn Hart

 You are going to fall in love with Bailey Ruth.  She's like Lucy and Ethel rolled in together.  She is one smart cookie and does a great job as a ghost detective.  Enjoy.

A Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery Plagued by Quilt by Molly MacRae

 It's a good read.  If you are looking for a good murder mystery in a light writing style,  add this one to your reading list.  

A Beechwood Harbor Ghost Mystery The Ghost Hunter Next Door by Danielle Garrett

 A woman who can communicate with ghosts, solves her first murder mystery, a cold case of 25 years ago.  Find out who did it.  Justice will prevail.  a good read for entertainment.  also good audio book.

Haunted Yarn Shop Mystery Last Wool and Testament by Molly MacRae

 It's another murder mystery with a ghost.  It's entertaining with a cast of characters.  I'm on vacation and am catching up on my murder mysteries.  This is a new one for me.  

Jackaby by William Ritter

 I found a new series to enjoy.  Smartly written, with snappy dialog and dark mystery.  The two team well and no romance between them.  A good read, enjoy.  Fine for any high school library.

Cassidy Blake Tunnel of Bones by Victoria Schwab

 Book 2 felt a bit forced in the story.  It's alright but I wasn't too wild about the story.
