About the Book

Belladonna Johnson has got used to having parents who are ghosts, and most of the time they're just like other parents. The only problem is, no one can see them but her. When someone catches her having a conversation with thin air, Belladonna is carted off to a foster family. But all is not as it seems - there's something very weird about her new guardians, and something even weirder about their house. Soon Belladonna and her friend Steve are forced to go on another mission to the shadowy underworld - facing more than one bloodthirsty mythical beast along the way . . .

About the Author :
Helen Stringer grew up in Liverpool and currently lives in California. She worked briefly for Merseyside Museums before following a local (and family) tradition by getting involved in the music business, managing a new-wave rock band and editing a local music paper. After moving to the United States to pursue a career in the film industry, she studied at the American Film Institute, winning several student film awards. She lives with a small herd of cats and about thirty fish, and now writes full-time. Her titles include The Midnight Gate and The Late Ghost.

Review :
Praise for "SPELLBINDER: " "Wry wit and derring-do add up to a great read."--"Kirkus Reviews" "Stringer debuts with an adventurous, darkly humorous ghost story. ...Stringer's ability to build a strong sense of mystery, entwined with Western mythology, will pull readers through to the end. Those who like unusual ghost stories without the usual horror will enjoy this book."--"Publishers Weekly" "Stringer maintains the humor and logic of preteens who are awkwardly coming into their magical destinies, which makes for an amusing first novel."--"School Library Journal" "Readers will fear for and cheer for Belladonna Johnson, the hero of this brilliant has-it-all novel, as she tries to solve the mystery behind the disappearance of the world's ghosts. One of the year's best."--"Cookie" magazine "Stringer's charming ghost story defies classification. ...A fast-paced plot and intricate world pull the reader along, but it's Bella's love for her parents and her need to keep them with her that linger"--"Booklist" "This charming debut novel blends classic British fantasy with figures usually reserved for horror stories to create a compelling fantasy adventure romp which will appeal to middle grades readers. ...this book is sure to hook readers and leave them waiting for what must certainly be a sequel, if not a whole series"-- "VOYA "
