The Last Resort by Erin Entrada Kelly is a spooky middle grade mystery about Lila, a girl who has to spend part of her summer at her late grandfather’s creepy Victorian inn. Once there, she discovers she can see and talk to ghosts, and that her grandfather’s death may not have been an accident. With the help of Caleb and Teddy, Lila must uncover secrets, solve puzzles, and help trapped spirits move on. (Kirkus Reviews)

The book blends ghost-story suspense, mystery, friendship, family secrets, courage, and interactive puzzle-solving. It has that “creepy old inn with secrets in the walls” feeling, but still keeps the adventure in middle grade territory. 🕯️

Best fit: Readers ages 8–12, especially kids who enjoy spooky mysteries, ghost stories, puzzle-solving, haunted houses, friendship adventures, and light horror. 

Content note: Includes ghosts, death, murder, scary images, danger, and some frightening supernatural moments.  Common Sense Media notes the scary content is present but not especially graphic. (Common Sense Media)
