Tuesday Mooney is a researcher for a hospital charity and she is very good at her job. She has an eye for details and the meticulousness of research takes full advantage of her strengths. When an eccentric billionaire dies, Tuesday, and the entire city of Boston, are swept into an adventure to solve various clues and find his treasure.
I was a huge fan of The Westing Game in 4th grade and in Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts, Kate Racculia took me right back to that time in my life when adventure was everything and the mystery was fun and only took itself sort of seriously.
Interestingly, as enjoyable as the treasure hunt was, I enjoyed the characters more than the hunt. Tuesday, her moody teenage neighbor Dorry, the fabulously wealthy "Archie," her best friend and confident Dex... I loved them all. It was a fun book, with an entertaining premise, great execution and satisfying ending. All in all, an enjoyable end to summer reading.
