A reporter for her high school newspaper, <i>The Core</i>, she's just waiting for a chance to prove herself. Not content to just cover school issues, Hildy's drawn to the town's big story&#151; the haunted old Ludlow house. On the surface, Banesville, USA, seems like such a happy place, but lately, eerie happenings and ghostly sightings are making Hildy take a deeper look. And she suspects the editor of <i>The Bee</i>, the town newspaper, is more interested in selling papers than he is in reporting the facts to a frightened public. <p>Hildy's efforts to find out who is really haunting Banesville isn't making her popular, and she starts wondering if she's cut out to be a journalist, after all. But she refuses to give up, because, hopefully, the truth will set a few ghosts free.<p> <i>Peeled</i> is a classic Joan Bauer novel, featuring a strong heroine, and filled with her trademark witty dialogue, and problems and people worth standing up to. 1718801 1 5 2008 Peeled total:546|5:79|4:216|3:192|2:54|1:5| 546 1948 954 168 4 1 false false Wed May 28 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 28 13:57:35 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 13 10:51:39 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Aug 08 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 19:26:53 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 08 08:30:29 -0700 2009 Peeled starts out as a haunted house mystery and evolves into a teenager's fight against the greedy powers that be trying to destroy her town.
