YA & Middle Grade Victorian Spiritualism & Occultism (54 books)

This list is for YA & MG fiction that largely feature Victorian & Edwardian spiritualism & occultism. Spiritualism is a belief that spirits of the dead residing in the spirit world have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living. It's all right if the book isn't strictly Victorian or Edwardian - the time period can extend through the 20s or 30s.
