The Last Resort 1

Twelve-year-old Lila has one goal for the summer—win back the friends who dumped her for being "too dramatic." But then Lila's estranged Grandpa Clem dies, throwing a wrench in her plans. Now she'll have to spend the summer in Ohio while her parents decide what to do with Grandpa Clem's creepy Victorian inn. Shortly before the funeral, Lila spots an oíd man sitting in her grandfather's favorite chair—it's him, Grandpa Clem. He tells Lila that he didn't die of a heart attack: He was murdered by someone who wants to control the inn. Because it's not a normal bed-and-breakfast—it's a portal between the land of the living and the realm of the dead. With the help of her skeptical brother, Caleb, and their new ghost-obsessed neighbor, Teddy, Lila—the girl who's vowed to be less dramatic— must uncover her grandfather's killer AND stop the evil spirits desperate to make their way back into the human world.
