Bookroo's summary

Anderson and his friends, Greg and Julie, thought their ghostly encounters were over. But when a Civil War soldier's ghost appears, demanding to know his brother's fate, their peace is shattered. The soldier's haunting presence and the relentless barking from the nearby pet shop hint at a deeper mystery. With few clues and time running out, the trio must unravel a 150-year-old enigma. Can they uncover the truth before it's too late, or will the past claim them as its next victims?

From the publisher

After three ghosts, it looks like things might be going back to normal for Anderson and his friends Greg and Julie. It’s been a while since any ghosts have shown up, and the most annoying things lately are the loud barking dogs at the Dogs and Suds pet-grooming shop next door to the Kitchen Sink. They’ve been barking nonstop for days, and it’s making band practice impossible. But maybe the dogs know something the friends don’t . . .Because suddenly a ghost does appear! From what Anderson can tell, it looks like the ghost is a teenage Union soldier from the Civil War, and he looks terrifying. But this ghost is different from the others: He’s demanding to know what happened to his brother, who was also enlisted in the Union army. It’s a mystery that’s over a hundred and fifty years old, and there are very few clues. What will happen to Anderson, Greg, and Julie if they can’t solve this one in time?
