Are the ghosts of those who died in a long-ago accident haunting the park? Determined to save the park for her dad, Ava teams up with Oliver—a strange but kind boy who has lived by the park all his life. Together, they try to hunt down whomever—or whatever—is causing all the trouble. Aligned to Common Core standards and correlated to state standards.
