Read for mother-daughter book club (5th grade). I'm not a fan of ghost stories, and this one didn't seem like anything special, except that I suppose it was pretty age-appropriate (elementary) on the creepy scale. The writing isn't very sophisticated, even given the audience.

Still chilling and fun after all these years! My 9-year-old couldn't wait to read the next chapter.
