Full storyline description:
Riley is a lonely kid who has trouble making new friends since her dad's job often causes them to move around a lot. One day a quirky, rainbow-haired ghost girl named Shelley starts following Riley home from school.

But when Riley's family buys a creepy old mansion to renovate and sell, Shelley gets worried. She warns Riley that this "perfect" house is haunted by a group of nasty trickster ghosts who play mean pranks on living people and drive them away. Shelley worries the other ghosts will scare Riley away too.
Shelley comes up with the idea to train Riley in ghost hunting skills like detecting spectral presences, using warding circles, communicating through EVP recorders, and even specialized gadgets Shelley designed herself to combat ghosts. Together Riley and her best ghost friend work covertly to outwit the scheming ghosts and ultimately convince Riley's parents to abandon their renovation attempts rather than get hurt.
Along the way Riley comes to learn that ghosts were once real people with feelings too. With Shelley's help, Riley is finally able to convince the ghosts to move on to a better place and leave her family's dream house in peace.

On a Chariot of Fire - The Story...

Erica Lyons

Two thousand years ago, a ship sailed east, alone on an endless sea. The people onboard were fleeing the same war that the Maccabees fought in the ancient land of Israel. They took with them their faith and their traditions, knowing they would sail for more than a year. 
 
When a great storm crushed their boat on the shores of India, only a few survived.  
 
Some say the prophet Elijah plucked them from the sea. 
 
But they were welcomed by the people of the new land. 
 
They survived and adapted, with new spices for their food and new clothing and culture to borrow, but never strayed from their faith. 
 
They say Elijah came back down from Heaven in a chariot of fire to praise this community, the Bene Israel of India, for their strength and their belief. 
 
Here, for all to share, is their story.
