Book Overview

Ever since her father died, kooky Gilda Joyce has been working hard to sharpen her psychic skills. She's determined to communicate with spirits from the Other Side and become a crack investigator of spooky, twisted mysteries. After wrangling an invitation to visit San Francisco relatives, Gilda discovers just how much her dreary, tight-lipped uncle and his strange, delicate daughter need her help to uncover the terrible family secret that has a tortured ghost stalking their home. From poignant to hair-raising and hilarious, this is a behind-the-scenes, tell-all account of the very first case in the illustrious career of Gilda Joyce, Psychic Investigator.

Gilda Joyce-awesome mystery!!!!

Excellent fun for teens and adults

As a mother and former youth librarian, I recommend this book for both adults and teens. It's fun, quirky, and is full of mystery and adventure.

As a librarian, I especially recommend this book for dealing with some very...

Gilda is fun for kids and adults

As the mother of two boys, I'm always looking for books to read to them that are extraordinary and challenging; Gilda Joyce is both! I loved the fact that Gilda handles very serious themes of loss and independence in a real yet fun way.

Courageous, daring, presumptuous, outrageous, undaunted, she enters a locked tower, entices ghosts, outwits unsmpathetic adults, and reforms the mal-adjusted. With wig disguises and ouija board, she flirts with the occult. Though this novel by Jennifer Allison is a "can't...

Fun, insightful, life learning

Gilda Joyce is a terrific read. As a mother of a 15 year old, I found it so refreshing to read such a wonderful story, one that not only is fun but provokes one to think about challenges that we all face and that clarity about oneself can come from probing for the answers to unanswered questions in very innovative ways! This author is outstanding and I am hoping she is on to writing her next book. This book is great for...
