Smart Cookie written by Elly Swartz, reviewed by Debra Gantz

Summary:  Frankie feels strongly that her Dad needs to meet someone to complete their family. Her Mom died years ago and it seems her Grandmother and her Dad are not getting along. They live in a B & B and it has not been busy, so she is worried about them losing their home. Her friend, Elliot, hears there is a ghost problem and being a shelf-proclaimed ghost hunter he is ready to solve the problem. As the two work to solve the ghost mystery, they discover everyone around Frankie seems to have a secret.


Straight Talk for Librarians:  This is a heartwarming story of family, friends, and neighbors in a small town that is apt to bring readers joy, laughter, and possibly some tears from both feelings. The ghost in this story does not make it much of a ghost story as it never feels threatening in any way. I have a ridiculously strong urge to bake some cookies after reading this story! Thank you, Elly Swartz, for your sweet story and acceptance of what family might be for each of us.
