Secrets of Grimoire Manor…what’s that?

Well here’s the “book jacket”:

At fourteen, Nevine Turner thought foster care was the worst thing in the world, but she learned better when she was sent to the Grimoire Manor for Orphaned Girls.  In The Secrets of Grimoire Manor, Nevine discovers that Grimoire Manor is filled with cranky teachers, abandoned attics and four generations worth of anguished and tortured Grimoire family souls haunting their former home.  Nevine is barely able to settle in before she is mysteriously whisked to the city of Prague in the year 1888.  There she is saved from a murderous ghoul by Xanthae Halruaa, an eccentric physicist and ghost-hunter.  From Xanthae, Nevine learns the trade of ghost-hunting.  Together they work out the secrets of the haunting of Grimoire Manor, the Ghoul of Prague, and the mysterious connections between the two that force Nevine to flip between Grimoire Manor and Prague when she sleeps.

It’s the best novel ever, I swear. Suitable for 13+ (with some YA/adult crossover appeal so fine for families). If you’ve got younger kids who like scary stuff is may be fine (there’s no real strong language or sexual situations, though there is some action violence and scares). Do be aware some of the free posts may get into R-rated content, but not the novel.
