Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing HahnI read this book long ago when I was young and I still remember and love it. You hated Molly's (the protagonist's) younger stepsister Heather, but when the end came, it was scary and unnerving and you didn't hate her anymore. That's because while Helen seemed like such a good friend, she wanted something in return, and Heather isn't the first...
It's a good ghost story with a ending that won't leave kids freaked out. Everything is resolved and left you with a good feeling. Some kids might be looking for stories with a bit more horror, but this should be good enough for many. If you're looking for some good Halloween books to read, try this one by candlelight and see if you don't get a few shivers.

Muy buenas Nicole!
I really enjoy your blog and love of books and writing. As you might have heard, I'm about to have my latest book, From Barcelona, published later this month. It's a collection of ten short stories that offers readers a glimpse at life in one of the world's most popular destinations and a city with a rich literary history.
If you could spare a few minutes to share your comments with me for use in my marketing efforts then that would be great. My publishers can also include a link to your website at www.bookshaker.com too if you feel it would be useful to your business. There is also an accompanying blog www.frombarcelona.com with free of charge content about the city available for your website or publication. Obviously you'll need to see it before you can comment so if you're keen to help then I'll send you a draft (PDF file)free.
While I would be grateful to receive a personal testimonial, I've attempted to make your involvement as easy as possible,so if you are willing to help I can also provide a selection of sample testimonials. You can put your name one or adjust accordingly, if you feel that this is appropriate. Simply respond to this email and let me know that you would be happy to do this and I will send you a copy to review,together with the sample testimonials.
I appreciate your support.
Warmest Regards and every Success…
