From the publisher

What if there was a ghost in your brother’s room? This kid-friendly mystery about three friends who try to help a restless spirit find peace is perfect for fans of Under the Egg and The Book Scavenger. It stinks. Danny’s older brother has moved out and gone to college–and Danny doesn’t even get his nice big room. But you know what’s worse? It seems that he’s left behind an angry ghost! With the help of his friends Nat and Gus, Danny interviews everyone his Brooklyn neighborhood to find out about spirits. Is it an Arabian ghoul? A Korean gwishin? A Polish haunting? Maybe the answer lies with Danny’s own bubbe and her tales of a dybbuk, a Jewish spirit. In the end, one thing is certain: a good night’s rest is hard to get when a ghost is around.
