And, even worse, Kat has just discovered that she can see spirits too.

Le Parti Anti-révolutionnaire Et Confessionnel Dans L'église Réformée Des Pays-bas: Étude D'histoire Contemporaine... (French Edition)
Kat can see spirits, but what's even worse is the fact that spirits can also see her, especially the exceptionally needy ones. As this medium-in-training discovers, having an entourage of dead people can be kind of overwhelming-and a tad scary. So when an exploration of the abandoned house next door leads Kat and her best friend on a search for a missing boy, Kat's not sure if she wants to help--or even if she can.
Elizabeth Cody Kimmel's second Suddenly Supernatural book reminds readers that some things are even scarier than surviving middle school.

In 1803, at President Jefferson’s request, Captains Lewis and Clark and their Corps of Discovery set out to explore beyond the newly purchased land of the Louisiana Territory to the western end of the continent. By the time the Corps returned years later, everyone believed they were dead–killed by bears, attacked by Indians, or fallen victims to a rough country. But the men had survived and with their long journey, they staked a claim to the West for the new country, America.
This lively, well-written Landmark Book includes excerpts from the expedition’s journals, maps and drawings by Lewis and Clark, and period paintings.
