What Stays Buried

Perfect for fans of Bone Hollow and The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street, this thrilling yet heartfelt ghost story—following a twelve-year-old medium facing an evil spirit and the loss of her supernatural gift—is New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young’s middle grade debut. Twelve-year-old Calista Wynn is about to lose her ability to talk with the dead. Once she turns thirteen, she will no longer be able to see or speak with spirits. And with only a few weeks left, children have started going missing. When Calista meets the Tall Lady—an angry spirit with a grudge against Calista, her family, and the entire town—she knows she’s found the ghost responsible for the disappearances. It’s up to Calista, the only one who can see the Tall Lady, to stop her. If she doesn’t, Calista won’t just lose her powers…she’ll lose everyone she has left. A ghost story like no other, What Stays Buried brings together a riveting mystery, a moving coming-of-age journey, and a poignant reminder that those we’ve loved and lost are never far away.
