It's bad enough being the new kid, but now Sara's secret belief in magic is about to go viral all over school, thanks to the Terrible Twins. To save her own skin-and even magic itself-she must prove magic exists. And fast!
Help comes from some ghostly allies she literally stumbles into, deep in an old hotel closet-ghost clothes. Yes, ghost clothes! Worn by real historical characters.
Together, the ghost clothes and Sara come up with a plan. And it just might work! Now, whether Sara has the courage to carry it out and face her tormentors...that's another matter. But what really does matter? Being right or being a friend?
