When twelve-year-old Florence boards the crowded horse-drawn coach in London, she looks forward to a new life with her great uncle and aunt at Crutchfield Hall, an old manor house in the English countryside. Anything will be better, she thinks, than the grim London orphanage where she has lived since her parents' death.
          But Florence doesn't expect the ghost of her cousin Sophia, who haunts the cavernous rooms and dimly lit hallways of Crutchfield and concocts a plan to use Florence to help her achieve her murderous goals. Will Florence be able to convince the others in the household of the imminent danger and stop Sophia before it's too late?

This book is scary full of revenge and is just awesomely grusome. The ghost you see on tv is definetly NOT the one you will image when you read it on the pages. Every turn full of excitment so it won't stop.

Hahn is definitely one of my favorite authors. Hands down. If she were a sales person, she could just scream, " Monday, Monday Monday, new book coming out! I'll give you the whole seat but you only need the edge. It is a real page turner.

This book is the best book I havve ever read! If you like Ghost stories you should totally read this book! It is about a girl named Flourence who is an Orphan who moves to live with her Uncle and Aunt because her mom and Dad died when a boat sunk. Her aunt is extremly mean to her. And her Uncle is the one who is the only one who is nice to her. She has two couisins James and Sophia. Sophia died in a terrible fall of the roof of the house. James is sickly and is always in his room. Flourence thinks that Sophia still haunts the house when she always feels someone following her. Read This book to find out what happens next! This story will make you want to stay in bed under the covers with a flashlight up all night!
