★★★★☆
Summary:
Georgie and Diana seem like perfectly normal siblings, they take care of one another because their parents are dead. They live on the estate of The Old Willis Place. One average day a care taker of the estate and his daughter, Lissa, move in. Diana wants desperately to become friends with Lissa, but Georgie reminds them of their pact to not let themselves be seen.
Through a series of descriptions of Diana and Georgie and their interactions with Lissa the reader discovers that Diana and Georgie are non corporeal this leads into some detective work to find out why they are still on the property and what exactly happened to Old Miss Willis.
Review: This is a great ghost story for young readers! It keeps you guessing, but explains everything well throughout the course of the book. There are a few scary parts, but for a ghost story it is relatively tame. I would recommend this book to kids in grades 4-6 who like a good ghost story.
