Publisher Description

Acclaimed author Jennifer Allison's popular Gilda Joyce mysteries have been recognized with an Edgar Award nomination and starred reviews from School Library Journal and Booklist. In The Bones of the Holy, the 13-year-old psychic sleuth is in St. Augustine, Florida, to solve two truly puzzling mysteries: Why has her mother suddenly decided to marry an antiques dealer who looks like a walrus? And who is the woman in white haunting the man's house?

"I have been a fan of the Gilda Joyce series since my middle school days, when I read the first novel (Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator). I absolutely love the character of Gilda--she's a quirky, well-written, believable character that I would love to have as a friend in real life (the mark of a fantastic character, in my mind). The fact that the series is now on its fifth book and I still enjoy a series that I began in middle school now, as an 18-year-old, is a testimony to Jennifer Allison's talent as a writer. The Bones of the Holy was definitely the best in the series so far--spooky, suspenseful, and filled with all the 'Gilda-isms' that we know and love. I read this book over the course of a single day--I simply couldn't put it down, especially near the end when I was turning pages so fast I was afraid I would rip them. The setting of St. Augustine, Florida, was perfect and I hope Gilda gets to return there, possibly for a future book, as I'm hoping there will be many more to come in the series."

    " Gilda is facing big changes in her fifth outing, as she discovers that her mother has gotten engaged very suddenly to a man from St. Augustine whom the rest of the family has never met, & they're on their way to Florida right away for a morning-after-Halloween wedding. Gilda, of course, relying on her psychic know-how, senses that all is very far from right, & she's got to get to the bottom of things before the vows are said. A good ghost story/mystery with a fantastic setting. Fans of Gilda are going to enjoy this one a great deal. "
