A note for parents

This fourth book in the Lockwood & Co. series maintains the supernatural mystery-adventure tone with moderate intensity suitable for early teens. The story emphasizes teamwork, loyalty, and personal growth while featuring ghost-hunting action and some dark moments, but violence is not graphic and horror is more atmospheric than gruesome. Occasional mild language and romantic tension are present but not central to the plot.

After leaving Lockwood & Co. at the end of The Hollow Boy, Lucy is a freelance operative, hiring herself out to agencies that value her ever-improving skills. One day she is pleasantly surprised by a visit from Lockwood, who tells her he needs a good Listener for a tough assignment. Penelope Fittes, the leader of the giant Fittes Agency wants them--and only them--to locate and remove the Source for the legendary Brixton Cannibal. They succeed in their very dangerous task, but tensions remain high between Lucy and the other agents. Even the skull in the jar talks to her like a jilted lover. What will it take to reunite the team? Black marketeers, an informant ghost, a Spirit Cape that transports the wearer, and mysteries involving Steve Rotwell and Penelope Fittes just may do the trick. But, in a shocking cliffhanger ending, the team learns that someone has been manipulating them all along. . . .
