Summary:
Clare is 12 and her father has passed away. In order to deal with some of this pain, her mother has been traveling. They have rented a home for the summer and Clare starts to make some friends. With her friends, she learns about the mystery of the glass house. After stealing a key, she discovers a ghost in that house. Now she had to figure out what happened to the ghost and how to help him move on.
My thoughts:
This is reminiscent of some classic ghost stories. There is a little romance, but mostly, Clare is attempting to find herself, deal with death, and become more comfortable with what is around her. Jack, her ghost, is used to help her deal with the passage of her father's death. While she is helping him move on, she learns a great deal about herself. There is a little mystery and suspense, but overall, this is a pretty straight forward coming-of-age young adult novel.
