Synopsis

Isabella Rodriguez is thrilled that she and her sister get to spend a week with their aunt in sunny Los Angeles, California. A budding photographer, Isa keeps her camera at the ready to capture all the iconic sights--especially those of the historic Hollywood neighborhood where her aunt lives. After one of Isa's photos shows a mysterious shadowy figure, she learns that Hollywood Hills is haunted. Now the ghost in the photo won't leave Isa alone. She's trying to communicate with Isa . . . but what does she want? Every state has its own spine-tingling stories of ghosts and mysterious hauntings grounded in its regional history. The Haunted States of America series uses real-life ghost lore as jumping-off points to new, chilling tales. An author's note provides historical origins and fascinating facts, but beware: sometimes real life is stranger than fiction.
