Chapter 1 Carnival Chaos It wasn’t even first period yet and the G H O S T Squad was sitting in the principal’s office What did we do this time Mags whispered to Luna and Scarlett The three of them and Scarlett’s trusty service dog Dakota sat in a tight row on the bench in front of the principal’s desk while the head honcho herself was somewhere else She was probably doing this on purpose to build up suspense Total power move Did Scarlett hack the marquee in the front of the school again Luna asked That was one time Scarlett said Luna and Mags both gave Scarlett a look that said Oh come on What Logan Williams made fun of my leg so I thought someone should make fun of the fact that he peed his pants in gym that one time she said glancing down at her prosthetic leg It may have been one time but it was up for half the day before anyone figured it out 8
Luna said I kind of think he deserved it Mags said Well yeah He defi nitely did That’s not 9
even an argument But having Scarlett banned from cheer squad for a month and not having our best base was a bummer Luna said Worth it Scarlett said with a wicked smile The door swung open with a fl ourish and Principal Mabry hurried to her desk She straightened her suit and sat So sorry to keep you waiting girls Thank you for coming down to meet with me she said Did we have a choice Scarlett mumbled earning an elbow from Mags We have a problem Principal Mabry said I have a haunted carnival a school in bad need of repair and not much time to fi nd another fundraiser to get the money we need Oh this is a business meeting I feel underdressed I should’ve put on my fancy leg Scarlett said She wiggled her prosthetic leg earning a groan from Mags and Luna and a very awkward confused stare from her principal As I was saying I know this is a bit unorthodox asking a group of children to get rid of a ghost for me But I’m a bit desperate and word on the street is that you girls are good at what you do 10
