Michiko is eager to try the ouija board with her friends Kate and Sophia. They summon Kokkuri-San, a Japanese trickster spirit, to answer a few questions. Most importantly, Michiko wants to know if her mother’s long illness means she’s going to die soon.
But once summoned, the spirit refuses to leave, warning them of danger over and over. When Michiko’s friends meet with near-fatal accidents on an overnight field trip to the Mojave National Preserve in California, they blame her for everything that has gone wrong. Their friendship is shattered.
Can Michiko solve the mystery of the trickster spirit, or will she be the next target for the devil in disguise?

Reviews:
"I really enjoyed this tale. It was definitely more on the scarier side especially compared to the first one. It seems like the tales are getting increasingly scarier, which is a good thing. I enjoyed the whole series, and I think it is a great read for the darker season -
especially around Halloween. I recommend this to every middle-grader who loves a little thrill and spook in their lives.
But be warned: do not try this game yourself! " -OpenedBooks Reviews "Did I love the plot of this story, yes. Did I cringe at how mean Michiko’s friends were to her, also yes. It made me sad even though I knew that Michiko had to overcome this friendship hardship to really come into her strength as a character.
I went straight for the third book because when I was a kid my friends and I used to use the Ouija board all the time. This felt like a what could have happened cautionary tale and I couldn’t get enough of it! " -Lindsay Prosper, Amazon Reviewer
