A fun, friendly ghost story

Thirteen-year-old Dee is still grieving after her mother's death when her dad sends her to live with her Aunt Winnifred, who runs an inn on a small New England island. Given that the tourist season has just ended, Dee's especially gloomy at the idea of spending the upcoming months there. But she's soon pleasantly surprised to meet Louisa Lockwood, a 13-year-old ghost girl who died in a fire a century earlier. Until she met Dee, Louisa hadn't a clue how long she'd been dead...and now, all she wants is to be reunited with her parents and younger brother. To accomplish that, the two have just a short timeframe during which they must locate and somehow better the lives of four Lockwood descendants... This book is part of a trilogy.

Haunting with Louisa Book 1

This book was amazing. I loved the way Louisa acts, and how differently Dee acts. Everyone should read this book because it really shows how it doesn't matter who or what they are, but you should always help them. This book is a perfect book, even if you absolutely hate ghost stories. READ THIS BOOK!!!

A slow-paced but enjoyable ghost story.

Dee is miserably lonely after the death of her mother. Her father, distraught after the death of his wife, sends his thirteen-year-old daughter to live with an aunt on a small New England island. Dee is even lonlier there, until she discovers she's not alone. The ghost of thirteen-year-old Louisa Lockwood, who died tragically in a fire a century ago, haunts the inn. She cannot join her family in the spirit world until she helps four of her surviving relatives. So Dee sets out to help Louisa find peace again. This was not a scary ghost story, make no mistake, although it was kinda suspenseful. It's a book more geared toward younger readers, but I enjoyed it.

I thought this book was wonderful!

I am a 26 year old mother of 3 kids, and am not too into reading scary books. Life is scary enough! This book is SO hard to put down! I started it at about 8:30 one night and finished it by 11:00. I wasn't scared, more like, intrigued by the goings-on in this book. Read it - however old you are - and I think you'll be glad you did.
