This is another book for the Treehouse Book Club. Liesl has been locked away in an attic bedroom by her evil stepmother. Her father has died and she was not permitted to visit him in the hospital before his death. She has no friends until a child ghost named Po appears one night. At the same time, a boy named Will, who is apprentice to an alchemist, makes an innocent mistake which sets a series of events in motion to draw Liesl, Po, and Will together. Soon they are on the run from the angry alchemist, the alchemist's client, and Liesl's evil stepmother. All Liesl wants to do is bury her father's ashes in the place he wanted. Will just wants to be far away from the alchemist who constantly calls him "useless". The unlikely relationships of Liesl, Po, and Will becomes a true friendship as they learn to rely on each other and find an unexpected ally.
