Julia | 3 comments I think the bus is doomed to repeat coming down the same road and path that it crashed on and one day, the ghost girl meets a boy who lives in a house on the street. There is a ghost in his house too, which he recently moved into. The boy has to solve some mystery to free the girl and the ghost in his house maybe? I also remember the bus was a traveling library bus the girl and her sibling (brother I think) lived in with their aunt. I read this book in the laste 80s or early 90's and it's probably of a middle school reading interest.

The Scorpio Ghosts and the Black Hole Gang

"Ryan's family is camping out while renovating an old brick schoolhouse that is to be their new home--a boring prospect to the four children, who are less enthralled with building and gardening than Mom and Dad. Things perk up When they receive a ghostly visitation: C.C. (Cotton Candy) and her librarian aunt, recently killed in a nearby bookmobile accident. Undismayed by the apparitions, the three older kids have two goals, both met in the course of the book: keeping the ghosts a secret from their parents and little sister (why this is important is never made clear); and freeing the ghosts and their ghostly bookmobile from the local intersection so that they can range freely through space and time, thus finally giving the children freedom from the garrulous C.C.'s conversation."

I'm pretty sure this is it, thank you! Just ordered a used copy to re-read.

If Julia doesn't respond in a week or so we can move this to Solved, since she hasn't been active on GR in awhile.
