Title: One star is overrating this book
Review: This book was intriging at first glance - a haunted house and a girl determined to drive out the ghost. However,as a mystery story and a horror story, it fails miserably. Most of the book is the introduction of characters, plot, and setting. It is only in the last chapter that she actually enters the haunted house at night- when the ghost comes out. All that happens is wind, whispering, scary plaster faces, and one character tripping. Oh, the horror. She finally finds out why the ghost was there and tells it to leave. The ghost's reason for staying was basically a re-enactment of a Poe tale. One of the two books that held clues to the mystery was a book of Poe's tales, but the author could have been a lot more creative.
