Where the Lost Ones Go by Akemi Dawn Bowman

Where the Lost Ones Go is a middle grade contemporary fantasy by
critically acclaimed author Akemi Dawn Bowman, in which a twelve-yearold biracial Japanese American girl grieves the loss of her beloved
grandma and attempts to contact her beyond the grave.
Eliot is grieving Babung, her paternal grandmother who just passed away, and
she feels like she's the only one. She's less than excited to move to her new
house, which smells like lemons and deception, and is searching for a sign,
any sign, that ghosts are real. Because if ghosts are real, it means she can
find a way back to Babung.
When Eliot chases the promise of paranormal activity to the presumably
haunted Honeyfield Hall, she finds her proof of spirits. But these ghosts are
losing their memory, stuck between this world and the next, waiting to cross
over. With the help of Hazel, the granddaughter of Honeyfield's owner (and
Eliot's new crush), she attempts to uncover the mystery behind Honeyfield
Hall and the ghosts residing within.
And as Eliot fits the pieces together, she may just be able to help the spirits
remember their pasts, and hold on to her grandmother's memory.
This is a beautiful story that explores grief and friendship. . . A captivating
story that will appeal to readers who love a mystery, have experienced loss, or
anyone who has searched for friendship in a new place." - School Library
