Reseñas de la Crítica

"The recent death of Gilda's father and Juliet's psychological problems give the story a heft that elevates it above the typical middle-grade mystery or ghost story. Stylistically, the writing is occasionally over the top, but give this book high marks for substance." (Booklist)

Great tween story

My daughter loves this book. I think she has listened to it a hundred times over. She likes the character Gilda because she is "a little weird." The book is funny as when Gilda dresses up and tries to pass herself off as a grown-up. The book is thrilling as when they are looking for a ghost. It's everything a tween girl will love. Mine has since gone on to read the other Gilda Joyce books (can't wait for the audio) and is looking forward to the author writing another.

excellent for young readers

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

Wonderfully entertaining!

This listen kept me interested through the entire book. It made you smile and this book never slowed down. It is really a kids (pre-teen to teen) book but as an adult it was just a really fun listen.

Great Adventure

Cute story with a great ending. The characters are well developed too. Will consider this series as a new one to continue.

Love the Gilda Joyce series!

I've listened to this audiobook series before through the library, and it was a delight to listen again. Jessica Almasy works serious magic with this series. Although I'm reviewing the first book, it's really all of them. Gilda's father passed away and she writes letters to him, case notes about her psychic investigations, school reports, and novels on an old typewriter he owned. She's not perfect, she's selfish and unkind to her mother and brother, she misreads people, and yet Gilda is incredibly lovable, sharp, and hilarious. There's tremendous character growth through the series. Overall, highly recommend whether you're tween, teens, or (in my case) middle-aged.
