Review

Jules may only be in 6th grade, but she has traveled quite a bit and is ready to settled down. Her father restores old houses for a living while her mother writes historical novels about the places they have lived. From the moment they moved into their temporary housing on a dilapidated estate, Jules has noticed a young girl in an upstairs window and keeps hearing and seeing things that she can't explain -- even to her parents. Unfortunately, the house is not safe enough for Jules to explore -- yet!

This fast paced and scary, but gentle ghost story will be enjoyed by fans of the paranormal. Recommended for grades 4-6

Overall Book Score: excellent
