We Need Diverse Books founder Ellen Oh returns with Spirit Hunters, a high-stakes middle grade mystery series about Harper Raine, the new seventh grader in town who must face down the dangerous ghosts haunting her younger brother.

A riveting ghost story and captivating adventure, this tale will have you guessing at every turn!

Harper doesn't trust her new home from the moment she steps inside, and the rumors are that the Raine family's new house is haunted. Harper isn't sure she believes those rumors, until her younger brother, Michael, starts acting strangely.

The whole atmosphere gives Harper a sense of déjà vu, but she can't remember why. She knows that the memories she's blocking will help make sense of her brother's behavior and the strange and threatening sensations she feels in this house, but will she be able to put the pieces together in time?

Ellen Oh is the cofounder and president of We Need Diverse Books (WNDB), as well as the author of the YA fantasy trilogy The Prophecy series and the upcoming middle-grade novel The Spirit Hunters. Publishers Weekly named her one of the Remarkable Persons of 2014. At one of her first book festivals, Ellen met Walter Dean Myers and his son Christopher Myers. Her mouth dropped open as she saw the couple towering over the crowd, which had already made her nervous. Chris and Walter took pity on an awestruck Ellen and introduced themselves, and they couldn't have been nicer, taking her under their wings and treating her like an old friend.

Oh, her husband, and their three children, live in Bethesda, Maryland. Visit ellenoh.com to learn more.
