Pretty good ghost story.

Hate and love in the same book. This story is a good ghost story for middle school readers, those that like being scared. There is a hanged, vengeful, hateful man and how he tries to take revenge out on those who hanged him. How a wife's and mother's love comes into play is what makes this story a cut above the rest of most ghost stories.

freaky!

Hi, I recently read this book and it was really good. I couldn't put it down and I was very surprised about the ending. I really didn't expect what happened to have happened. She is an excellent author. I have now read 3 of her books. This one, including Curses,INC. and Dragon's Bait. In fact, I logged on to see if she wrote a sequel to Dragon's Bait and was severly disappointed to see she has not. If you read this Ms. Velde, please write a sequel to that book! Thank you
