Book Cover SpiritsofOz

Twin siblings Nico and Lola Espiritu, their babysitter Zoey, and her neighbor, a taxidermist named Possum, are on a mission to save humanity's (and ghost-manity's) freewill.  They were approached by a friendly neighborhood ghost, the Albino Lady, while accompanying their parents on an expedition to Rochester Cemetery to film their ghost-hunting reality show, Spirits of Oz.  The twins are sent on a scavenger hunt for a bizarre collection:  a glass bottle filled with sea water, a horse with a broken leg, a sieve, and a funnel, among other items.  Will they succeed in their quest, or will otherworldly spirits take over before they can find everything?

This spooky adventure was written this past summer by 11 members of the Topeka community, at an astonishing pace of a chapter per week.  You can read it online or check it out.  Meet several of the authors and get your copy autographed at our upcoming literary fair, Great Writers, Right Here.
