Cassidy and her parents are in Paris, and of course, Jacob, her best friend who just happens to be a ghost, is there, too. Filming a paranormal documentary, they visit several places that are said to be haunted. The one that disturbs Cass the most is the Catacombs, a graveyard 5 stories beneath the

city. She encounters a young ghostly boy, who turns out to be a poltergeist and is bent on causing havoc, and who is becoming stronger every day. She - and Jacob - must defeat him, and send him on. Thus begins another adventure for these two young people. The tale is an enticing one, as the friendship between human and ghost deepens. Readers learn more of Jacob’s backstory, and Cass begins to further her own knowledge of what it means to be a ghost hunter. This series is an excellent one for upper elementary school kids. It illustrates a strong family structure, caring bonds of friendship, and delightful settings in various world cities, as the Cass and Jacob travel not only in a real world but also in a fanciful one.

follows the same format as the first, it’s fairly predictable but still a fun read. There is a ghostly mystery for Cass and Jacob to solve while Cass’s parents are filming. This time it was a poltergeist kid. I love how Cass is making new friends and acquaintances at each location she visits. The story never gets too creepy or scary but does have a nice eerie vibe to it. Setting (5/5): I really love these international settings there are very fun.

In this second book, we follow Cassidy and her ghost best friend forever Jacob to Paris and into the Paris Catacombs. Cassidy is a great heroine. She is strong, smart, compassionate, and brave. I love Cassidy's ghost friend Jacob and their friendship. I love how Jacob is more careful and tries to

be the voice of reason when Cassidy's Griffindor spirit decides to do anything reckless. Even if he sometimes fails he never lets her go alone. They have their own code and rules. They are so cute together. I loved watching Cassidy embrace being a ghost hunter in this book and really finding her prepose in it. I loved all the spooky moments. I loved learning about the history and hauntings of Paris. I just loved this book. If you love ghosts, great friendships, and spooky settings I highly recommend this book. Victoria Schwab is a genius writer. Her stories, her characters, her settings, her worlds, I can never get enough. I am so hyped to see what city Cassidy's adventures take her to next.

Tunnel of Bones is book 2 of the City of Ghosts series, which was a Lone Star novel.
Cassidy's family visit Paris for the next installment of their TV show about ghosts. It's interesting that Cassidy doesn't tell her parents that she can go behind the veil and visit the world of ghosts. Her father
In the catacombs, Cassidy finds a ghost unlike any she has encountered. What she learned in Scotland won't work with this ghost. He's getting stronger and affecting everyone in Paris. If she can't get him to disappear, Paris will suffer. She gets help from Jacob and Lara as well as a friendly Parisian.
I always hate to say much about sequels, but it you liked the first book, you'll like this book as well.

It was ok... I am glad Jacob has a good role to play in this book as well. But the ending was too abrupt & underwhelming. The story was fine as you would expect from a middle grade novel. I liked the first one better than this. I still will read the next book in the series because I am just so

I love this world but didn't enjoy this book as much as the first one. The conflict wasn't as interesting or at least not as developed but seemed more akin to a classic ghost story than the first book. I realise that this was written for children rather than a middle-aged adult like me but I felt

Schwab dumbed down Cassidy too much. She's 12 and in modern times, not an infant. A pre-teen in 2019 is going to know basically what a crepe is. I also worry that her parents aren't really providing any sort of education since she knew absolutely nothing about Paris and some of the things she wondered about seemed... worrying. Still, these are fun books and I love ghost stories. I would love a book focusing on Jacob or his backstory since we still don't know anything about it besides he drowned and he's not willing to share with Cassidy. Show Less
