Kate Messner
A haunted Broadway theater.
A ghost demanding justice.
Three kids who must follow the clues to unlock the past . . .
When Daphne, Luna, and Felix break into a shuttered theater to produce their own musical, they find it haunted by the ghost of an angry showgirl who makes a cryptic demand:
TRUTH
Daphne is already struggling with her own truth, ever since a cute older boy humiliated her in front of the drama club last spring. Now her heart is full of secrets, and she hasn’t written a new song in months.
But the ghost is persistent, and the friends find themselves sleuthing through empty research libraries and abandoned theaters in a search for answers. As the hauntings escalate from spooky to deadly, can they uncover the truth of what happened a century ago and finally free their ghosts?
Told via stage play, song lyrics, letters, and more this fast-paced, accessible novel will capture any reader.

Critic Reviews
I've read a lot of ghost stories. But this one will haunt me for a long time. How do I know? I read it a week ago--and I still have chills!
Beautifully written and brimming with realistic friendship dynamics, fascinating history, and themes of bravery and empathy, this is one ghost story that belongs in every middle grade library!
A moving ghost story, a juicy mystery, and an exploration of how the past haunts both the living and the dead. I loved it.
In her clever multi-modal style, Messner sets a spooky stage with haunted theaters, indelible friendships, and a righteous crusade to address a historical wrong. Toss in a spine-chilling mystery and an unrequited crush and you’ve got a page-turner sure to dazzle readers from the first bars of the overture to the final curtain call.
Avenging ghosts and long-buried secrets take the stage in this innovative supernatural mystery. With a cast of Kate Messner’s singular middle school characters and a delightful dose of theatricality, Keep the Ghost Light On is a fun and absorbing novel about the magic of theater, the tenacity of ghosts, and the power of reclaiming your voice.
With astute intention and invention, each verse touches your soul and puts tears in your eyes--the kind of tears that comfort and heal.
Split this story like a log, and you'll find concentric circles of metaphor and meaning on every page. There are passages that will gut you, and others that will leave you laughing out loud.
Equal parts suspenseful adventure and heartrending emotion, this beautiful book will capture your heart.
The Trouble with Heroes is a heartfelt, moving page-turner that tackles grief, loss, anger and redemption. Another Kate Messner triumph!
