Gr 9 Up–The Ghost Gang returns, this time with a haunting unlike anything they’ve encountered before. After the intense experience at Hearst Hotel, all four members of the gang—Chrissy, Chase, Kiki, and Emma—are suffering in different ways. But their subscribers and views went through the roof, so they begin a new case despite their unease. In order to capitalize on the fame from their last case, they embark on a cruise aboard the
RMS Queen Anne, a transatlantic ship that has been the scene of many violent deaths. However, once on board, the Ghost Gang quickly realizes this is no normal haunting when Chrissy, their very own psychic, doesn’t just see the ghosts on board—she becomes one. The group is desperate to figure out what is happening on this cursed cruise, before it is too late. This quick page-turner lacks body. Although this is a sequel, the characters never fully coalesce and some of the hauntings just feel like too much, even for a horror story.
VERDICT Creepiness abounds, but not enough for readers to fully set sail aboard this ship.
