A Touch of Ruckus

In A Touch of Ruckus by Ash Van Otterloo, Tennessee 'Tennie' Lancaster grapples with a secret gift: the ability to uncover memories by touching objects. This talent, carefully concealed from her overburdened family, becomes more unpredictable when the Lancasters relocate to the mountains for a fresh start. Tennie's touch unexpectedly releases a ghost with a chilling warning—trouble is brewing.

Reluctant to address the ghost's message, Tennie is drawn into the mystery by her only friend, Fox, a fearless ghost hunter eager to uncover the truth. As more spirits are set free, Tennie finds herself at the center of a whirlwind of supernatural events. The ghosts demand to be heard, and Tennie faces a harrowing choice: keep the peace by hiding dangerous truths or expose long-buried family secrets that threaten to unravel everything.

This atmospheric tale weaves themes of family, friendship, and courage as Tennie learns that sometimes confronting the ghosts of the past requires a little bit of ruckus.
