That's the Spirit by Stacia Deutsch
A group of young friends who love to hang out.encounter a mystery when their friend claims that an unhappy ghost is scaring her family. That's the simple premise behind this installment of Stacia Deutsch's The Mysterious Makers of Shaker Street series. Comprised of friends Liv, Michael and Leo the friends each bring a different skill set to the table and work together to get to the bottom of the mystery.
If you are looking for a high interest read for kids in grades 2 through 4 just in time for the scary season this one comes highly recommended. The book does use some scientific principles and the author provides some cool how-to guides at the back of the book for the intrepid young readers who may want to try the projects out. Stacia Deutsch seems to have this niche of earl chapter books that have a bit of mystery and sci-fi/STEM. This is the fourth book in this series. See the others here.
