A favorite ghost read for Elementary school level readers! It is a nice ghost story with the right amount of spooky in it for a younger reader, but not enough chills to stir up nightmares.

I remember reading this book as a child, and enjoying the story. I read my copy the day I received it and it was everything that I remember it to be. I recommend this book to anyone with children or anyone that just enjoys a good story.

If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but ever time she tried to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble.

A good book to read. Only thing I wasn't happy with is that it was a little short read compared to other's I've read. All in all a good little book.
