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.

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.
