Abby and her mother used to live in Florida. But, her father is off fighting in the war against the Nazis and has been listed as missing in action. They had to leave Florida to stay with relatives in New York state. The closer it gets to Christmas the more Abby misses her father. Everything is different here....they don't put a starfish at the top of the Christmas tree, it's snowing and cold, and instead of going to the beach, her cousins want to go sledding and build snowmen. Then her cousins tell her the story of the ghost....every Christmas the spirit of a girl appears. The more Abby learns about the mystery, the more intrigued she is. Then she actually sees the ghost. Can she help the ghostly girl find peace?

This book is a short, quick read. Perfect for middle-grade ages and up, the story is an enjoyable Christmas themed ghost story. It's geared towards children, so there is nothing inappropriate or too frightening for kids. As an adult, I still enjoyed the story. The book is well-written, interesting and lightly spooky. It made for a nice afternoon read. I will definitely be reading more by this author. I love reading kid's books as palate cleansers between heavy adult fiction titles.

Brenda Seabrooke has written many other middle-grade books including Stonewolf and The Haunting of Swain's Fancy.

So there are two kinds of vampires, and Jeff finds the good one in his closet locked into a trunk by the vampire's evil cousin. Eugene eats a lot and sleeps in the bathtub while the story proceeds.

There are a few reasons why I like this book. The first reason I like this book is it is very accurate in its historical information. The way the book describe how the boys are the ones that go out and work and the girls of the family stay home and do chores around the house is correct. The book is also very descriptive about how the group of men dumped tea into the Harbor to rebel against the British government. There is also a historical note in the back of the book that goes into more detail about the incidence. The second reason I liked the book is because of the illustrations. The pictures showed what people dressed like in that time and what their houses looked like. There was a lot of detail in the pictures of dumping the tea into the harbor as well. The main idea of this book is to teach about the Boston Tea Party and what life was like in those times.… (más)
