SomethingÂ’s rotten in the heart of apple country!


Hildy Biddle dreams of being a journalist. A reporter for her high school newspaper, The Core, she’s just waiting for a chance to prove herself. Not content to just cover school issues, Hildy’s drawn to the town’s big story—the haunted old Ludlow house. On the surface, Banesville, USA, seems like such a happy place, but lately, eerie happenings and ghostly sightings are making Hildy take a deeper look.


Her efforts to find out who is really haunting Banesville isnÂ’t making her popular, and she starts wondering if sheÂ’s cut out to be a journalist after all. But she refuses to give up, because, hopefully, the truth will set a few ghosts free.


Peeled is classic Joan Bauer, featuring a strong heroine, and filled with her trademark witty dialogue, and problems and people worth standing up to.
