Secrets Within Secrets of Ghost

There are several things that a book reviewer covers in a book: Plot, setting. characters, conflict/resolution, style, and grammar. Some books can receive quite high marks even if it fails in one area IF the rest of the areas are strong. Some books can receive an okay rating if it doesn't reach expectations in two areas but is strong in the other areas.  Naturally this is subjective.  After all, you come to this website to see what I think.  If you generally agree with my assessments, you will return.  I don't generally break each of these categories out in a review but I do stress areas where the book succeeds and give warning where the book fails. Today, however, I am going to break down 'Secrets of Ghosts' by Mardi Orlando because I think it will be helpful to both you, as the reader, and to the author.

From Amazon:

About the story:
Seven teenagers with very special abilities  find themselves on a bus bound for what they think is a special school. Little do they know they are headed for a place lost in time. Worse, Madame Glizsnort, who greeted them on the bus, tells them nothing of their real mission and in fact abandons them soon after they arrive. With Santu as their impromptu leader, the team begins to understand that they have to save ghosts who are caught in this land of timelessness. Meanwhile, the team is forced to fight the great shadow which threatens them all.
