So this is the first middle grade horror story that I’ve ever read and I’m so impressed with it! I Googled best middle grade horror stories because I have an idea for a series of my own and wanted to get a better feel for it. Google suggested, Mary Downing Hahn, and Google was right! She has many books and I plan to read more of course, but I’m super partial to old school ghost stories and this fits the bill!

This story has all my favorite things: abandoned house, little girl ghost and not just any little girl ghost, but one that’s been hiding for more than a hundred years. Also, my other favorite thing is present; very brave not-ghost girls.

Mary Downing Hahn writes so well and seemingly with ease. This story just flows and is crazy hard to put down.

I would give this ten stars if I could! Uber-highly recommend this story!!!
