When Sophie’s father dies, she goes to live with her
grandmother, Emma. Before she even gets to the house, bad dreams start, dreams
she later learns are being brought on by the ghost of Carol, a girl who died in
the house long before. The ghost continues to haunt her from the first day, and
then, Sophie learns from her new schoolmates, Lillian and Thomas, that her
grandmother’s house is not just a normal house; it was once a funeral home
owned by Carol’s father, a distraught man who went insane after his daughter’s
death and eventually hung himself.
Carol gives Sophie an ultimatum; find a way for her
to reunite with her father’s spirit, or die herself. Only Lillian and Thomas
believe Sophie’s story, and they set out to help her comply with the ghostly
command.
An interesting ghost of possession and danger, that
tends, unfortunately, to drag a bit in places, but that is nonetheless an
interesting read, and is probably written appropriately for younger readers.
