<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> When her father goes away, eleven-year-old California "Callie" Poppy winds up with her eccentric Great-Aunt Monica and their ancestor, the once-famous etiquette expert Eleanor Fontaine, now a hypersensitive ghost. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>From acclaimed author Linda Urban comes the funny, bittersweet story of a girl and her ghosts--and the welcoming home they find where they least expect it.</b> <p/>California Poppy has been dropped off, yet again, with an unsuspecting relative. This time it's her eccentric Great-Aunt Monica, a woman she's never even met. Aunt Monica has no idea what to do with an eleven-year-old, so she puts California to work researching their ancestor, the once-famous etiquette expert Eleanor Fontaine. <p/>California soon discovers that Great-Great-Great Aunt Eleanor is...not exactly <i>alive</i> and well, but a ghost--and a super sensitive one at that. The grand dame bursts into clouds of dust whenever she loses her composure, which happens quite often. Still, an unexpected four-legged friend and some old-fashioned letter writing make this decidedly strange situation one that California can handle. <p/>Just as California's starting to feel like she's found a place for herself, life turns upside-down yet again. Thankfully, this time she has some friends <i>almost </i>by her side... <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Details about California's struggles unfurl in poignant matter-of-fact reveals . . . California's personable narrative celebrates quiet moments of kindness and the eventual discovery of love in her life."--Publishers Weekly </br></br>"Urban deftly tackles loss, longing, loneliness, and neglect...Skillfully written with well-drawn characters." --Kirkus Reviews <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> Linda Urban has written many award-winning books for young readers, including the novels <i>Almost There and Almost Not</i><i>, A Crooked Kind of Perfect</i>, <i>Hound Dog True</i>, and <i>The Center of Everything</i>.
