Ellora McGee is just like you and me, except she’s also a trainee banshee.
Starting a new school in a new town, Ellora McGee is nervous. Making friends is hard enough, but how will her classmates react when she tells them she’s a trainee banshee? She doesn’t want to scare them off! But, no matter how hard she tries, Ellora’s banshee Wail just can’t be kept down. And a banshee Wail is a warning – something’s up at her new school, and unless she and her friends can work out what’s going on, it will have to shut down! As Ellora and her new friends work together to solve the puzzle, she realises that being a (trainee) banshee might just save the day!
