Publisher Description
Travis and his sister, Corey, can’t resist a good trick. When they learn that their grandmother’s quiet Vermont inn, where they’re spending the summer, has a history of ghost sightings, they decide to do a little “haunting” of their own. Before long, their supernatural pranks have tourists flocking to the inn, and business booms. But Travis and Corey soon find out that they aren’t the only ghosts at Fox Hill Inn. Their thoughtless games have awakened something dangerous, something that should have stayed asleep. Restless, spiteful spirits swarm the inn, while a dark and terrifying presence stalks the halls and the old oak grove on the inn’s grounds. Only Travis and Corey can lay to rest the ghosts they’ve stirred. This means discovering the secret of Fox Hill and the horrors visited on its inhabitants years before... Once again, Mary Downing Hahn has created a chilling and gripping ghost story in the tradition of The Old Willis Place, Witch Catcher, and Deep and Dark and Dangerous.

" A good ghost story for kids from fourth grade up. Scary, but not too scary. An inn is haunted by the ghosts of children who lived there when the place was a poor farm run by a cruel brother and sister Cornelius and Ada Jaggs in the 1800's. The people who lived on the poor farm were starved and worked to death. Ada was especially cruel to the boys who lived there, and considered that they were all bad and needed to be punished. Two children Corey and Travis come to spend the summer with their grandmother who runs the inn. When they hear that the inn used to be haunted they decide to pretend to be ghosts for fun. Their antics bring the real ghosts back, and soon the inn is haunted by very badly behaved children and Miss Ada's evil angry ghost. Travis and Corey have to exorcise Miss Adas spirit and lay the other ghosts to rest. "

" Another YA book that I totally loved! I am terrified of ghosts, but this ghost story was light on creepy scary and big on heart. After reading this book, I feel like I could be a "sensitive one" and see a spirit if one had a message for me. If you knew me, you'd know this scares me beyond belief. Anyway, despite the scariness, this book is quite lovely and changes my perspective on young adult lit. "

" Even if something is a myth, we shouldn't make fun of it. It can come true for all we know, and when we regret it, it is just too late... "

" Good ghost story for kids who enjoy scarcy stories. The ghosts become main characters and you become attached to them and wish peace for them. "

" I did not expect to be pulled in so much, but I found myself wanting to stay up and finish it, but also worried I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't switch to something less scary. "
