Enjoyable read with lots of mystery and unexpected twists. I thought the end was a bit abrupt, that's why it's only getting three stars. I just needed one more chapter for it to feel like a fully finished story. ( )

I read this book as a child and instantly loved it. It has stuck with me, and I read it again as an adult. I was surprised that I enjoyed it just as much as I had as a child, and it really spooked me in parts. ( )

I believe this is an updated revision of a book originally published in 1974. This is a story that my preteen self would have loved. It is set in a spooky isolated boarding school and involves ghosts and ESP. I thought the story was pretty good and appropriate for younger readers, but the ending seemed abrupt to me. I would have appreciated an epilogue of some sort. I also have to respect Duncan for having the cojones to pass her own poetry off as being written by Emily Bronte, but I wasn't quite buying that. I found the potential romance, with its age difference, a little off-putting, but it remained only potential and was never developed, so I guess that's okay. ( )

A good, solid book for a preteen. ( )
