Ghost Squad was a cute and short middle grade but nothing really past that. It held its own in terms of characters and plot but I don’t think it’ll be a book I remember much of. The book shined in the characters and their relationships with each other, which was nice to see. I liked that Lucely (our main character) and Syd were such close friends and how Syd stuck by Lucely.
It’s not that I didn’t like the plot, it was easy enough for a middle grade but that was about it. Nothing really further to it. I’ve read other middle grade books with better plots so I know it can be better. But I think this book will be the perfect match for another reader.
