Martha, her father, her new stepmother, and stepbrother Conor move into a deserted house. Soon after, their parents go on their honeymoon, Leaving Conor and Martha all alone in the cold creepy house. It's not just house that's creepy, weird things are also happening. At her new school she is not doing so well, but she has made a few friends: Blake, a cute guy who seems to like her, and his cousins Greg (who works at their school and is Martha's advisor), and Wynn, who is Martha's age. Martha finds out from her new friends that a girl named Elizabeth Bedford who was her age and looked a little like Martha was killed in her bedroom in the Bedford house, but no one ever found out who the killer was.
Richie Tankersley Cusick's other books are just as good.
Try: The Lifeguard, The Mall, Someone at the Door, Vampire, and Overdue.

Dressed to Kill

Martha knew there was something evil about the
house she was moving into.It was so cold...and
creepy.And it wasn't just the house that was giving
her a weird feeling.Martha was sure someone was
following her...watching her every move.

Then the practical jokes began-the scarecrow
with a carving knife in its head,the fire.And
the phone calls:"Trick or treat,Martha...you're
dead."

It was October,but these were no Halloween
tricks.Someone would be coming home this year
with more than just a bag of treats.And Martha
was the prize.
Trick or treat.
