Author: Mary Downing Hahn
Jules and her parents move around a lot. Her dad restores historic old houses and buildings. So they live in one place only long enough for him to finish a project, then move on to another town and another restoration job. Jules is tired of moving, new schools and having no friends. Her father's newest project is Oak Hill, an old mansion in Hillsborough, VA. Locals say the house is haunted. When Jules sees the ghost of a young girl, she realizes the stories just might be true. She makes a new friend, Maisie, and the two girls start investigating the history of the house and why the spirit of the girl is trapped there.
This story is a bit spooky, but still age appropriate for middle-grade kids. Kids (and adults) who enjoy ghost stories would love this book.
I listened to the audio book version of this story. Narrated by Rachel Dulude, the audio is just under 4 hours long. Delude reads at a nice pace and has a pleasant voice. I have partial hearing loss but was easily able to hear and understand the entire book.
Mary Downing Hahn is the author of more than 30 middle-grade/young adult novels. Most of them are supernatural/lightly spooky tales.
