The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud

Lockwood & Co, Book 1
Imagine you're living in London but during a period of time when ghosts are commonplace and running rampant. In the fifty years since something causes the ghosts to awaken, people have learned that children are more likely to be in tune with the spirit world and able to help. Enter Lockwood & Company, a group of children who can help with your ghost problem.

This is a great starter for this series. We are set up and interested in the company and the cast of characters. We get a couple of tension-building situations with them this time around and the promise of more to come in future books.

Highly recommended for middle grade, teen, or adult readers who enjoy ghost stories and sarcasm.
