 * Good sections to read aloud:**

Right from the beginning of this book, Joan Lowery Nixon keeps her readers on the edges of their seats with the murder of Cody’s parents, Holly’s boyfriend. Holly is extremely upset when she finds out that Cody is the prime suspect, and wants to help him out in any way possible. While at the scene of the crime, a strange lady approaches Holly and tells her that her hairpiece, which is jade, means she has a special power to seek spirits, and asks Holly if she wants to seek out the spirit of Cody’s parents. Holly is very sceptical and rushes away from the lady, only to seek this same lady out several days later. Holly and the lady break into the house where Cody’s parents were murdered and sit in the very room where blood still stains the carpet. Holly realizes that she does have the power to seek spirits, but is it a good or bad power?
