In fact, everything s different. It s fall, not summer. Mom and Dad are staying behind to have a talk. And Nanaleen s house smells weird, plus she keeps forgetting things. And these aren t the only things getting under Simon s skin: He s the only one who knows that his name is Simon, and that he and him pronouns are starting to feel right. But he s not ready to add to the changes that are already in motion in his family. To make matters worse, Simon keeps hearing a scratching in the walls, and shadows are beginning to build in the corners. He can t shake the feeling that something is deeply wrong and he s determined to get to the bottom of it which means launching a ghost hunt, with or without his sisters help. When Simon discovers the hidden story of his great-aunt Brie, he realizes that Brie s life might hold answers to some of his worries. Is Brie s ghost haunting the old O Hagan house? And will Simon s search for ghosts turn up more secrets than he ever expected?
