Kate and Maggie, soon discovered that they could communicate with the spirit that was making these uncanny
noises; he told them he had been a traveling peddler who had been murdered. This strange incident, and the
ones that followed, generated a media frenzy beyond anything the Fox sisters could have imagined. Kate and
Maggie, managed (or perhaps manipulated) by their elder sister Leah, became famous spirit mediums, giving
public exhibitions, and advising other celebrities of their day. But were the Fox sisters legitimate? In the years
that followed their rise, the Civil War killed roughly 1 in 4 soldiers, increasing the demand for contacting the
dead. However, media campaigns against the sisters gathered steam as well...This thrilling and mysterious
true story from veteran author Barb Rosenstock (Caldecott Honor winner) will spark teens' interest in American
history, encourage media literacy, and reveal insights into the Civil War era, fake news, and women's rights.
