An absolute classic from my middle school horror days-- Heather makes me so mad in the beginning and I hate destruction of property, like that one scene makes me so mad and angry but it's such a classic ghost story told well

I borrowed this repeatedly from my elementary school library but could only remember the broad strokes of the story rather than the title of the book. I recently figured it out and immediately borrowed it from the public library. It didn't disappoint. It's a tight, well-paced read with just the right amount of spooky given the intended audience.
