Kristy and the Haunted Mansion by Ann M. Martin
3.0
In yet another thrilling mystery installment, these crazy kids go sticking their noses in places they don't belong! Perhaps to a lesser extent than usual, but still!
This one sees Kristy and Bart combining their little kids baseball teams to make the Krashers. Somehow, for some reason, Charlie is driving them all around in a van instead of having an adult do it. Clearly it's a plot device, but still. Come on.
A big storm kicks up after the game, and Charlie can barely see the road. They miss their turn, and take a different turn instead. The bridge ahead is washed out, and by the time they turn back so is the one they just crossed. So, naturally, they must spend the night in a big old mansion that they think might be haunted.
It isn't, of course, but they do find a *gasp* Mystery! The house is owned by a man named Will, whose fiance disappeared in the 40s on the even of their elopement. Turns out in the end she isn't dead, but is running the sewing store in Stoneybrook and she took off on purpose so she didn't have to rely on a man.
Badass, old woman! Badass!
