Violet and the Velvets: The Case of the Angry Ghost
By Rachael King
Review by Genna
Violet and her band are about to compete at the School BandChamps, when all of a sudden, creepy sounds start happening. Could it be the angry Theatre Ghost?! Violet and her friends jump on the case right away, trying to figure out who this angry ghost is, and what they find might not be a ghost after all...
A spooky, but exceptionally funny read, with an excellent representation of neurodiversity and the LGBTQ+ community.
