The Trespassers
by Zilpha Keatley Snyder
Neely and her brother Grub like to play in the garden areas around an old, fancy mansion. One day they discover an unlocked window and explore the inside of the house. Neely and Grub begin sneaking into the house and playing in the children's nursery, filled with fascinating toys. Their fun fantasy comes crashing to an end when a family moves into the house. The boy of the family is mean and annoying, but they try to be friends with him because a) they're nice kids, and b) they want to keep playing in the nursery.
Neely and Grub are very likable and the narrative style, from Neely's point of view, flows nicely. The mysterious aspects of the unexplained death of a young girl who used to live in the house, and the feeling of her presence in the house, keeps the chill factor and moves the story along.
