The Saturday Night Ghost Club

This was cute, although I'm not sure that's what Davidson was going for. It's a little Stand By Me, a little Goonies, maybe some of The Wonder Years. It feels nostalgic and atmospheric.The Saturday Night Ghost Club is about The Saturday Night Ghost Club, which consists of a loose group of characters who meet on (you guessed it) Saturday nights to visit a local spooky site. Jake and his Uncle C are mainstays, but they both bring along friends. Davidson uses these meetings to do some exploration of memory and death. The plot was predictable, and I found a lot of the commentary trite. The ending felt rushed. I had a similar reading experience with [b:Harry's Trees 36540759 Harry's Trees Jon Cohen https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1509906064l/36540759.SY75.jpg 58269985]. Both are whimsical—but at times sad—books about how kids and adults process loss. Nothing particularly wrong with either, just certainly not life-changing. It's a good book to pick up around this time of year. It's not beachy, but it's definitely summery. And the cover is great.
