Day 29: Gilda Joyce: The Bones of the Holy by Jennifer Allison

In the fifth installment of the Gilda Joyce series, Gilda‘s mom falls in love, very quickly on a trip to St. Augustine, Florida. In a flash, Gilda finds herself on a trip to one of the most haunted cities in America for her mother’s wedding. Using her highly toned psychic abilities, her late father’s old typewriter and her go to book Master Psychic’s Handbook, Gilda is ready to make the most of the trip and talk her mother out of marrying Eugene Pook. As soon as Gilda meets Mr. Pook she knows that things are not right. He keeps calling her mother by his late fiancé’s name, there is an odd chill in the kitchen and Gilda sees a strange woman in the yard. Soon Gilda sets out to solve the psychic mystery and save her mom from making a huge mistake. I love Gilda! She is funny, sassy, loves vintage clothes and does everything over the top. This series is a great mystery series combining the right amount of suspense, ghosts and sass. I would recommend this series for fifth graders and middle school students.
