Peeled by Joan Bauer
Hildy Biddle dreams of being a journalist. A reporter for her high school newspaper, The Core,
she's just waiting for a chance to prove herself. Not content to just
cover school issues, Hildy's drawn to the town's big story—the haunted
old Ludlow house. On the surface, Banesville, USA, seems like such a
happy place, but lately, eerie happenings and ghostly sightings are
making Hildy take a deeper look. Her efforts to find out who is really
haunting Banesville isn't making her popular, and she starts wondering
if she's cut out to be a journalist after all. But she refuses to give
up, because, hopefully, the truth will set a few ghosts free. (Reading
