I just adored this book!! It was a smidge long and complicated for my 7yo (way too old for my little guy).

Flee Jay Saylor and her perfect genius sister Clarice are on another case. A recently widowed fortune teller returns to town with her nephew to reopen the health club she owned with her husband before they ran away with the circus. However, the 'spirits' seem to be telling them to abandon their plans and sell the building.
