We find out early on that Pepper is a ‘Ghost Whisperer’. She not only manages to see Karen’s ghost, but three other ghosts who took up residence at Pebble Brook Lodge. One of the ghosts is much more dangerous; he’s the one she needs to be especially careful of. Pepper gets to know Willie more as time goes on, and begins to realize what a gentle spirit he is. He carves the most beautiful animal creatures. With the help of the ghosts in the house, she sets out to prove he didn’t kill his sister.
I really loved this story. It’s part of a series, but can be read as a standalone. The characters are vibrant. The descriptive time change that Pepper experiences are critical to the story and Ms. Covella does a wonderful job of placing the reader back in 1966 as well as other time periods. The only thing that felt like more of a stretch to me was the river that ran through the dining area of Pebble Brook Lodge. A nice image, but how realistic would that be? This is a preteen mystery and I really believe that age group would thoroughly enjoy this. There’s a scene of Pepper with her friend, Ally, and a Ouija board which will stick with me. It seemed the ghost was suggesting for her to find and destroy a certain book. When she asked for clarification if the book should be destroyed, “The pointer flew to the word ‘No.’ Then to ‘Yes.’ Then it went faster and faster and faster, skidding between the two words yes no yes no yes no …” Rating: 4 out of 5.
EDIT: The author commented that there is a real Brookdale Lodge in the Santa Cruz Mountains that inspired her story. It truly has a creek running through the middle of the dining room. Here is a link to pictures on her website : https://lindacovella.com/ghost-whisperer-series/the-ghosts-of-pebble-brook-lodge.... So, it is not only realistic; it has been done. ( )
