Ebram’s Story: Book 1
The Haunting

       Ebram Casas-Treski gets the shock of his life when he moves to a new town and learns that he must make the leap from elementary to middle school in sixth grade. But loneliness, uncertainty, and bullies are only the beginning of this young Catholic boy’s problem. Something mysterious is going on, on Texas Thistle Avenue. Ice from the tap and in the toilet? A talking teddy bear named Mazie? His grandfather’s story about El Día de Los Muertos? And flying Santas in broad daylight at Christmas! Ebram needs an answer, but the truth isn’t what he thinks. Enter the Shroudas, a strange group of Christian tweens and teens who challenge the community with their active belief in doing good and helping others as themselves. But are they too uncool for Ebram to befriend?
