This collection of tales is for fans of ghost-story writer Mary Downing Hahn’s scary but not too scary books. Even the stories without actual ghosts are spooky. Each tale turns something ordinary - a pigeon, a white dress, a stranger on the bus, a puppet - into a sinister link to the supernatural. For the human characters, secrets from the past or careless behavior in the present can lead to serious trouble. All the stories have a young person as their central character, so all will resonate easily with young listeners who enjoy the eerie, the creepy, and the otherworldly.

In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father…until now.

My name is Amelia Gray. I'm a cemetery restorer who sees ghosts. In order to protect myself from the parasitic nature of the dead, I've always held fast to these rules passed down from my father…until now. Detective John Devlin needs my help to find a killer, but he is haunted by ghosts who shadow his every move. To warn him would be to invite them into my life. I've vowed to keep my distance, but the pull of his magnetism grows ever stronger even as the headstone symbols lead me closer to truth and to the gossamer veil that separates this world from the next.

Seventeen-year-old Aidan Lockwood lives in the sleepy farming community of Temperance, Ohio - known for its cattle ranches and not much else. That is, until Jarrod, a friend he hasn't seen in five years, moves back to town and opens Aidan's eyes in startling ways: to Aidan's ability to see the spirit world; to the red-bearded specter of Death; to a family curse that has claimed the lives of the Lockwood men one by one...and to the new feelings he has developed for Jarrod.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 248
Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. And for almost as long, they’ve been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her. But they are in middle school now. Zach’s father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she’s been having dreams about the Queen - and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave.

Childhood Favorite
This book gave me chills when I was in the 5th grade 30 years ago! Listening to it now, as an adult, gave me the same excited chills! So wonderful to reconnect with a long lost childhood memory.

Intriguing
The story good and kept me interested however the person telling the story needed to clear up her voice. At times it sound like she had something in her mouth

Love It!
This was one of my favorite books when I was in elementary school! I remember rereading it, so that I could feel the eerie suspense again and again. Now I am a teacher, and shared the book with my fifth and sixth grade students. They absolutely loved it! Even my male students, who are usually hard to motivate when it comes to reading, were hanging on each word!

Loved it!
Loved the story and the depth of the characters, as well as the readers voice. Some audio books are excruciatingly hard to listen to because they sound like a robot is speaking, but this audiobook was refreshingly vibrant and full of colorful language and intonations. I I really, really enjoyed it!

A favorite ghost story from my childhood
This book isn't recommended for super young kids. I believe I read it around second grade, and I think if you have a kid that likes spooky things, this will be a winner. Its a solid story line with good character development, that wraps everything up nicely at the end.

It was amazing. This may be the best book I've ever read. I almost cried because the back stories were so sad.

Flashback!
I enjoyed flashing back to my youth. When I was young, I was terrified of this book and had nightmares. But I loved it then and I enjoyed it now as an adult. I doubt I'll listen to it again, but I'm glad I bought it and listened to it. The narrator did a great job, even though it did take me a bit to get used to her voice.
