"description": "<b><b>An irresistible and bittersweet coming-of-age story in the vein of <i>Stranger Things</i> and <i>Stand by Me</i> about a group of misfit kids who spend an unforgettable summer investigating local ghost stories and urban legends<br></br></b></b><br></br><b>\"A celebration of the secret lives of children, both their wonders and their horrors . . . Immensely enjoyable, piercingly clever, and satisfyingly soulful.\" -Jason Heller, <i>NPR</i></b><br></br><br></br>Growing up in 1980s Niagara Falls - a seedy but magical, slightly haunted place - Jake Baker spends most of his time with his uncle Calvin, a kind but eccentric enthusiast of occult artifacts and conspiracy theories. The summer Jake turns twelve, he befriends a pair of siblings new to town, and so Calvin decides to initiate them all into the \"Saturday Night Ghost Club.\" But as the summer goes on, what begins as a seemingly light-hearted project may ultimately uncover more than any of its members had imagined. With the alternating warmth and sadness of the best coming-of-age stories, <i>The Saturday Night Ghost Club</i> is a note-perfect novel that poignantly examines the haunting mutability of memory and storytelling, as well as the experiences that form the people we become, and establishes Craig Davidson as a remarkable literary talent.",
