“A
darkly humorous, rapid-fire read.” —Kirkus Reviews

Stranger Things meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer
in this contemporary novel from Francesca Zappia, the acclaimed author of Eliza
and Her Monsters.

When Zora Novak is framed
for a crime she didn’t commit, she must track down the true culprit and clear
her name before it’s too late. But in a small town obsessed with ghosts,
getting people to believe the truth might prove to be impossible.

When someone burns down
the home of the school janitor and he dies in the blaze, everyone in
Addamsville, Indiana, points a finger at Zora. Never mind that Zora has been on
the straight and narrow since her father was thrown in jail. With everyone
looking for evidence against her, her only choice is to uncover the identity of
the real killer.

There’s one big
problem—Zora has no leads. No one does. Addamsville has a history of tragedy,
and thirty years ago a similar string of fires left several townspeople dead.
The arsonist was never caught.

Now, Zora must team up
with her cousin Artemis—an annoying self-proclaimed Addamsville historian—to
clear her name. But with a popular ghost-hunting television show riling up the
townspeople, almost no support from her family and friends, and rumors spinning
out of control, things aren’t looking good. Zora will have to read between the
lines of Addamsville’s ghost stories before she becomes one herself.

Acclaimed author
Francesca Zappia has a perfectly pitched teen voice that shines in this
inventive novel. Now Entering Addamvsille is perfect for
fans of Brittany Cavallaro, Victoria Schwab, Riverdale, Truly Devious,
and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

Includes
interior spot illustrations from the author.

WHAT IF THEY’RE REAL?

Addamsville is full of ghosts.

They haunt the old coal mine, take long walks along the lake, and watch visitors from the storefronts. In Addamsville, ghosts and their stories are a way of life, attracting the visitors that keep this small town alive.

But Zora knows that the ghosts are real and not some tourist trap. And she knows what else lies hidden in the darkness.

Now, Zora is being framed for a crime she didn’t commit. With the supernatural running amok in Addamsville, she must track down the true culprit, clear her name, and protect her family and friends—her entire town—from creatures set on destruction.

But in a small town obsessed with ghosts, getting people to believe the truth might prove to be impossible.

“Plot twists will keep the audience turning pages.”
