Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their younger stepsister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard.

If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse. But they do -- when Helen comes.

'Genuinely scary, complete with dark secrets from the past, unsettled graves, and a very real ghost.' -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

This is a fun, spooky story to listen to. The narrator was okay--I have heard better but it was a young girl so you have to not expect as much. Well worth the time, I would suggest this book to anyone but don't read this after dark--it will scare you!
