Olivia Kidney and the Exit Academy

Series: Olivia Kidney
by Ellen Potter Illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds
What is it with Olivia Kidney and ghosts? No matter where she goes, they follow. Even when she moves into a brownstone in New York City, there is no escape from the weirdness that is Olivia Kidney's life. Her new living room is entirely submerged under water, and Olivia has to navigate in a boat past bobbing furniture and snapping turtles just to get to her bedroom. Complete strangers show up in the middle of the night to practice bumping into walls! And then, of course, there are the ghosts. This house holds secrets-Olivia can feel it. Why, she wonders, was she invited to live here? Come enter the amazing world of Olivia Kidney. At once moving and laugh-out-loud funny, it will forever capture your imagination. Ellen Potter is the freshest thing to happen to young fiction since Lemony Snicket.
