New-to-town, dorky Midnight is surprised to find herself befriended by two popular classmates. To fit in with them, though, Midnight needs money, so she finds work with elderly Miss Appleby, who, it turns out, has the ability to see ghosts. Midnight uncovers the truth about Miss Appleby, her own mean-girl "friends," and local ghosts. Though her adventures play out predictably, Midnight is a relatable character to cheer on.
