About This Book

Poison Apple Books: perfect for girls 8–12 who love thrilling ghost stories, spectacular supernatural tales, and spooky mysteries.

Casey Slater can't believe her bad luck. It's the summer before seventh grade, and while her friends are hanging out at the local pool, Casey is in a remote country town, where her parents are restoring a creepy, creaky old house.

Worst of all, everyone else in town thinks the old house is haunted. And soon Casey things so, too — objects fly across the room on their own, the hallway floorboards creak when everyone is in bed, mysterious writing shows up in the dust on her mirror — and it seems like the ghost doesn't want them there. Casey thought she'd be dying of boredom, but now she's scared to death!
