Surprisingly good! Loved it, although a more suitable title could've been 'Combe Carey Hall,' although that's not as cool sounding.

Great YA/tween mystery. It has all the elements of a good YA read- strong characters who have to work together, pooling their strengths and working through their insecurities; a good mystery- how to find the Source of the haunting; and no swear words or sexual innuendo/acts. A refreshing read in a time when YA books have become Rated X.

Great story good character development. Nothing “bad” for middle grade but pretty scary IMO
