This is a 3 part story, about a haunted house. A family of four, move into a the house on Cherry Street but it already has tenets of the ghostly kind, that only the children see. A brother, a little sister and small group of friends look for explanations of whats going on with a reoccurring nightly ghostly hauntings. Jason (their son) tries to get his parents to know what's going on so that they can move but has to look for more answers about the ghosts to be able to put this nightmare to rest. My 10-year-old grandson enjoyed it, read chapter 2 in one day.

Great Book if you Enjoy Scary Reading

I read this book when I was a child and it is by far the scariest and best scary book I had ever read. I have trying to find it for a long time and finally have I can't wait to read it again.

EMMERS' Review for THE HAUNTING

I first read this book when I was in the third grade and the way the authors described in detail the adventures of Jason (the main character in the book) in the creepy house that he had just moved into with his family nearly made me throw the book in the freezer out of fear. This is definitly a book that will keep the reader on the edge of their seat and their eyes on the page.

JOSHUA'S REWIEW

I think this book was one of the most mysterious books that I have ever read. It was about a boy who moved to a grand old house on cherry street. It was a great place to raise children. Even ones from the dead!

ONE OF THE BEST YOUNG ADULT THRILLERS OUT THERE!!!!

If your a teen who is sick of those stupid childish "scary" books, then this is the book for you!!! Nonstop horror from begining to end leaves you with a non stop thriller from begining to end!!! STRAIGHT FROM THE 14 YEAR OLDS POINT 'O' VIEW!!

The Haunting

I read this book when I was ten years old. I still enjoy reading it. It is about a boy named Jason. He is moving to an old house for his summer vacation. As soon as he arives at the old house on Cherry St. wierd things start to happen. The is a book for young readers who like edge of your seat stories.
