Twelve-year-old Molly and her ten-year-old brother, Michael, have never liked their seven-year-old stepsister, Heather. Ever since their parents got married, she's made Molly and Michael's life miserable. Now their parents have moved them all to the country to live in a house that used to be a church, with a cemetery in the backyard. If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse.

But they do -- when Helen comes.

so sad and scary i loved it

my friend read it they said it is a great book to read and Helen has a secret that you can find out if you read it.

This is an excellent scary story. Mary Downing Hahn is one of my FAVORITE authors. Don't choose this book if you get scared easily or have bad dreams.

wait till helen comes is creepy, scary, and chilling. its about a girl named molly who is moving to a church with her brother michael and her step sister heather. when she arrives there is a graveyard behind the church. heather discovers a old grave there and is being possessed by the ghost who is buried there. and is it a coincidence that the ghost's initials (HEH) are the same as heather's?

i love this book becuase it makes me realize that just because you have a sibling that hates you they will end up needing your help.

the book is pretty interesting but the preview 4 the movie is creepy!!

AMAZING book. I love it sooo much. And I'm not much of a scary book person.

A story about a young girl, her brother, and a her new step sister moving into an old and scary church. The step sister who does not wish to have new sibblings, takes on a new hauntingly, frightful new friend.

this book is pretty good...it's a little weird at somepoints.

since all my friends (ava jaden) have been talking about it, i guess ill try reading it! but if it gives me nightmares i am gonna HURT them!!! just kidding.......................MAYBE!!!!!
