It’s a new school year and trouble is bubbling to the surface just in time for another electric Hoke Week. 

Whisper’s friendship with step-sister Paisley threatens to implode. Sophie loses her new-found identity and wardrobe in one fell swoop. Frannie scrambles to save her grief vlog when her avid fans become A+ haters. And Zuzu grapples with the slow fizzle of her real-world friendships in the face of her elevated powers and spirit world mission: defeat Silas Hoke, at all costs. 

As the days count down to the Hoke Stoke, will these friends be able to band together one last time or will Hoke have his final revenge?

The final installment in this five-book series, Graveyard Girls blends popular scary books for kids (think: Goosebumps) with strong teen girl characters into a fresh, genre-blending middle-grade series. For kids ages 9­­–12 in search of girl friendship stories and mystery books, readers will find horror and heartfelt relationships in Where There’s Smoke, There’s a Liar.
