The Essence

SILVER MEDALIST — MOONBEAM CHILDREN’S BOOK AWARDS

No one could expect the ghostly adventures shared by Alyssa, Bradley, and Sean, when their parents take a long weekend from home. On their first morning alone, Alyssa discovers that her baby brother Sean received a magical, glass wand from a pair of ghosts, who he calls the buddies. Along with brother Bradley, the three Dempsey children begin interacting with a dark and dangerous spirit-world in which the sinister owner of the wand lives, and from whom it was stolen.
