About the book: The Many Hauntings of the Manning Family: Thirteen-year-old twins Gabby and Trent Manning are Connecticut’s youngest paranormal investigators. They both inherited “the gift” from their grandparents, the Mannings, whose legendary ghost hunts inspired several books and movies. But after their untimely deaths years ago, the Mannings have nearly been forgotten.

Armed with EMF machines, flashlights, and recording equipment, the twins’ mom drags them all over New England in an attempt to bring their family back into the limelight. Never mind that Gabby is tired of being known as a Ghost Twin, and Trent finds most of their haunts to be pretty frightening. Their latest destination is just what their mom thinks they need to go viral: the abandoned Majestic Theater, the site of the Mannings’ infamous failed exorcism.
