Description

Karen steps out of her mother's car onto her college campus for the first time. She didn't think she could have afforded going there, but the ruby scarab she had found for her ancestor spirits, Thomas and Margaret, was the monetary start she needed when they gave the scarab back to her to sell. Now she could pursue her studies in entomology, the study of insects. Leaving home doesn't meaning leaving her ancestors behind, though. While working on an article for the college newspaper, Karen comes across a nineteenth century newspaper report on a horse trophy supposedly stolen by Thomas. The article suggests that even though there was no evidence that he took it, all fingers pointed to him. Thomas and Margaret appear to Karen again, and Karen swears she will clear Thomas' name somehow. The two ghosts follow her, her roommate, and her new boyfriend while she pursues this undertaking, creating surprising and humorous situations, as usual. Karen, once again, discovers that it's never too late to help your family, even if they no longer live on earth.
