Oh, E. (2017). Spirit hunters. New York: Harper.
Overview: Horror is not my genre of choice. I get goose pimples very easy from spooky movies and stories. With that said, I really liked Spirit Hunters. It was spooky in parts, but the author really helps the reader develop a relationship with the characters. The Korean cultural aspects that Oh added to the book is very interesting.
Harper the main character was injured and had memory loss. Her family just moved into a new home in the DC area. The home is old, built back in the 1800’s. Throughout the story she keeps a journal to record information/memories that begin to come back to her. The only thing is she does not know if they are fact or fiction. She makes a new friend in the neighborhood that tells her the rumors that her new home is haunted. Yuna her mom, Kelly her older sister, Micheal her younger brother and her dad Peter live with her. The book covers the first 10 days in there new house. All the odd things that happen to her family. The family lives closer to their grandmother know but their mother does not want to see her. Harper so wants to visit her grandmother it has been 5 years since she has seen her.
