Before her life can get better, she has to figure out how to help the ghost move on.

Advance Praise
"Ghostly fun!" -- Gillian Summers
The Faire Folk Series
"A fun package of crushes, quests for popularity, and summertime antics, tied together with a paranormal bow. Fans of Meg Cabot's Mediator novels will find much to like in Haint Misbehavin', the first of Hardegree's Ghost Handler series."
Tricia Mills, Razorbill
"In her new book, "Haint Misbehavin'," author Maureen Hardegree begins a hilarious, charming young adult series featuring a sassy teenage ghost handler who finds herself in all sorts of wacky situations due to her ghostly friends." Las Vegas Review-Journal (Sharon Gallagher Chance)
I really enjoyed HAINT MISBEHAVIN'. The way the story is written really makes it sound like a teenager speaking, and while the story seems light and fun, it touches on some deeper issues. I'm glad to see that this is the first of a series. I can't wait to see how Ms. Hardegree develops Heather's character and see what other messes she gets into! TEENSREADTOO.COM

I love the snappy, sassy tone of the book, and it's constant throughout. The style of the writing is so great that, while I didn't notice it while reading - another plus, that the goodness of the writing is unobtrusive - when I think about it now, the tone is modified at each scene to fit the mood and what's going on. But still, the snappiness and sassiness is pretty much constant, since Heather is a sarcastic-thinking - in a nice way! - kind of girl. The writing drew me into the story completely, to the point that when Heather finds the answer that will help Amy move on, I smiled so widely and felt a warmth spreading throughout my heart. (OK, so that sounds cheesy, but good books do that to you! Or to me, anyway.) And the very last line made me laugh out loud!
