A Touch of Ruckus
A Touch of Ruckus | Ash Van Otterloo
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
A laugh-out-loud, ghostly Southern mystery that's perfect for fans of Cassie Beasley and Natalie Lloyd. Tennessee Lancaster has a hidden gift. She can pry into folks' memories with just a touch of their belongings. It's something she's always kept hidden -- especially from her big, chaotic family. Their lives are already chock-full of worries about Daddy's job and Mama's blues without Tennie rocking the boat. But when the Lancasters move to the mountains for a fresh start, Tennie's gift does something new. Instead of just memories, her touch releases a ghost with a terrifying message: Trouble is coming. Tennie wants to ignore it. Except her new friend Fox -- scratch that, her only friend, Fox -- is desperate to go ghost hunting deep in the forest. And when Tennie frees even more of the spirits, trouble is exactly what she gets... and it hits close to home. The ghosts will be heard, and now Tennie must choose between keeping secrets or naming an ugly truth that could tear her family apart. Magic and mayhem abound in this spooky story about family legacies, first friendships, and how facing the ghosts inside can sometimes mean stirring up a little bit of ruckus.

Turning into an enby weekend!
This book is so much more spine-tingling and important in message than I thought it would be. Environmental stewardship; a girl realizing there's more to life than being the 'peacemaker'; mental health. Serious bonus points for a nonbinary major character who is accepted as nonbinary in their family and community with the narrative focus being on other aspects of their life. #nonbinarycharacter

Mehso-so

A creepy ghost story combined with an environmental awareness plot. Parts of it were fun and it is short enough to look appealing but a little more development at the beginning and end would have been nice.

This book was a delight!

However, this app still won't let me post photos; what gives?
