Tunnel of Bones once again brings the reader into the world of Cassidy Blake, ghost hunter (City of Ghosts). This book finds Cass and her ghost best friend Jacob in Paris where her parents are filming their show about haunted cities. When Cass ends up in the Catacombs beneath the city, she attracts a poltergeist. As she races to find out more about this trouble-making apparition, the ghost grows stronger and more dangerous. Plenty of eerie, atmospheric scenes, lost of fast-paced action, and a mystery tied into the history of Paris and its dark practice of burying bones beneath its city make this a page-turning novel for middle school readers and up. Recommend to readers of V.E. Schwab’s other books (though this one is aimed at a younger audience than her Shades of Magic or Villains series (adult) or Monsters of Verity or Archived series (YA)) and to readers of Ellen Oh, Katherine Arden, or the next level for Alvin Schwartz fans (Tales to Tell in the Dark).
