    School Spirits (working title) will follow List’s character as she finds herself stuck in the afterlife and goes on to investigate her mysterious disappearance, alongside a group of other students that are also stuck in limbo from her school. The book is being published next year through Clarion Books, an imprint of HarperCollins Children’s Books. The series hails from Oliver Goldstick, who worked on Netflix’s Bridgerton. Goldstick will serve as the showrunner as well as an executive producer along with Nate and Megan Trinrud, who actually penned the pilot script.
