Overview
May I tell you a story? I've a wondrous tale for you about a little girl, one unlike any other, a little girl named Thelma Thimblewhistle. With the loss of her mother, Thelma and her father leave their busy Indiana suburb for the quiet town of Raven Den, Tennessee, to begin again in their new home--the eerie Peterson Estate--an old mansion that just happens to have a life of its own! After a bizarre accident, Thelma reenters the world of the living to discover a host of spooky friends and bewitched objects awaiting her, including the enchanted fountain pen Solomon Inkwell. Her assigned Spirit Guide, Dead Anna, is in charge of tutoring her in the ways of the Neither Realm, named so because it is ""neither here nor there."" As she begins to uncover the ghostly world buried just below the surface of the living, she learns she is to become far more than a mere student. The Emerald Moon has risen, signifying the return of the greatest evil the world has ever known--the Boogey Man. Only the Defender of the Dead can stop his arrival and protect the world from his wicked grasp. Could Thelma be the champion the dead seek? Thelma must piece together all the clues hidden throughout the derelict mansion and master her supernatural abilities to save the lives of the dead. Then, maybe she can conquer her greatest challenge--middle school!

""A detailed gothic world beyond the realm of mortals."" - Kirkus Reviews ""The pages come to life...like a Harry Potter book especially for girls, a must read, but maybe not alone at night, unless you are really brave like Thelma."" - GoodReads
Author Information
A.J. Grea is an author and screenwriter living in East Tennessee with his husband of twenty years, three snarky cats, and a meddlesome squirrel who will not stay away from the windows. A lover of 80s horror, he began writing short stories at the age of nine. One of his first stories, ""The Monster Who Ate My Brother,"" resulted in a parent-teacher conference, during which his mother had to assure the concerned faculty that his siblings were fine. When not spinning hair-raising yarns, A.J. spends time as most middle-aged comic book fans do--playing video games and collecting childhood toys that remind him of when his only responsibility was being home before streetlights began to glow.
