Bookroo's summary

Eliza's summer takes a spooky turn when a mysterious plant vanishes from her mother's lab. Convinced the plant shop is haunted, Eliza dives into a chilling mystery. Is she uncovering a ghostly secret or something more sinister? With the help of Story Pirate Captain Vincent Rolo, young readers can explore the Mystery Creation Zone and craft their own thrilling tales. As Eliza navigates the eerie happenings, she must decide if she's ready to face the unknown. Will her ghost-hunting skills reveal the truth, or is she in over her head?

From the publisher

Ghosts? A mysterious plant? Something even more sinister? This spooky mystery (inspired by a real kid’s idea) doubles as a creative writing guide for young writers! Eliza loves hunting ghosts – too bad she’s spending the summer helping her scientist mother study weird plants instead. But when a mysterious plant goes missing, things go from strange to downright spooky. Eliza is convinced something–or someone–is haunting the plant shop. Is she digging into dangerous ground? Like Stuck in the Stone Age, the first in the Story Pirates Present series, this spine-tingling mystery doubles as an introduction to the basics of creative writing. With the help of Story Pirate Captain Vincent Rolo and the Mystery Creation Zone, kids can use this kid-generated story as inspiration to create their OWN great mysteries! “What a fantastically fun way to learn about writing a story!” – Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author
