Ratings and reviews

I've read a few books by Mary Downing Hahn and really think is the best! I've always been a fan on supernatural/paranormal stories like this. It captured my attention and kept me wondering what was going to happen the whole time and was left with just a hint of sadness and happiness at the same time when I got to the end.

I remember reading this book in Intermediate school because it was my first ghost story. I recommend this book if you want to start off a bit slow and work yourself up to major thrillers. This book had me hooked!

I was searching for a scary story that's when I saw it I read the full story it was amazing at the end it broke my heart but the book was fantastic I also think the story of deep and dark and dengruos is good pls read those two books
