Ghosts Come Rising is Available Now!

A 2023 Children’s Book Council Children’s Favorites and Teacher’s Favorites winner!

In the early 20th century, a religious movement called Spiritualism spread across America. Spiritualists believe that the living could communicate with the dead. Complete with ghostly black-and-white photographs, this suspenseful book tells the story of twelve-year-old Liza Carroll and her little brother as they try to find answers and hide a secret while staying at a spooky Spiritualist commune.

“So much more than a ghost story! Adam Perry’s Ghosts Come Rising is a beautifully crafted historical novel about the lengths human hearts will go to in coming to terms with loss, and the ways love continues, even from the other side of the thin place between life and death.”
Kate Albus, author of A Place to Hang the Moon

Below are some of my other titles, most with long titles.

The Thieving Collectors of Fine Children’s Books

Oliver Nelson has stolen (and lost) a rare book, and now a pair of book collectors are trying to steal it—from his mind!

The Magicians of Elephant County

What happens when two kid magicians discover REAL magic? Chaos. Laughs. And a bit of property destruction, of course.

The Big Book of Horrendous Diseases

Germs are all around us, as you probably know. However, we found some new and humorous ones you might enjoy.

This takes getting lost in a book to a whole new level.
