Danica\u2019s not wild about working with her competition, but there\u2019s a bigger problem: her tita has forbidden her from meddling with the spirit realm. Not that Danica believes in spirits. But when Kennedy shows her a box of letters addressed to all three kids\u2014letters that start to fly around his attic\u2014Danica knows she can\u2019t turn down their biggest case yet.

Danica has lost her relikaryo, a powerful amulet that keeps her safe from evil spirits. With the help of her best friends and fellow kid detectives, Jack and Kennedy, she follows the trail into a parallel realm where she hopes a ghostly presence on the other side will help reunite her with the precious talisman. Instead, she encounters the mysterious Detective Gray, author of her favorite investigator\u2019s handbook\u2014and Dani\u2019s hero. The master sleuth needs Danica\u2019s detecting skills to solve another mystery, one with deep roots in Filipino lore. As Danica pursues her biggest case yet, she discovers more about her family&#8217;s deeply buried past, their connections to the shadowy detective, and her newfound ability to probe people\u2019s memories by stealthily infiltrating their dreams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Links<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mikaela Lucido <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mikaelawrites.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.mikaelawrites.com\/\">personal website<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Publisher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annickpress.com\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.annickpress.com\/\">Annick Press<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mikaela Lucido is a Filipina-Canadian author living in Mississauga, Ontario.
