Kristy and the Haunted Mansion by Ann M. Martin

2.0

I read this book, but I don't remember much about it. Kristy and Charlie are driving Kristy's child baseball team home when they're stuck in a rainstorm and have to take refuse in a creepy old mansion. The opening, where they deal with the realities of trying to take care of kids in an abandoned house, is semi-realistic and kind of deeply scary on a practical level, but then they get involved in some dumb Scooby Doo type mystery. The longer they're stuck, the less believable it becomes.
