I've had this book since Elementary school! I found it in the hallways all trampled on (back cover got ripped off), and by the time I found out whose it was, it was too late to return it.
This was an enjoyable, if short read. It says something that I remembered pieces from this book after all this time. I like how Christina and her Uncle Ralph's relationship was resolved, the story behind the ghosts, and the bit of depth to the characters. If I was going to have a kid, this would be in their collection.

I remember my mom reading this to me when I was younger. Although I don't really remember the story, I remembered that I liked it :)
