Reviews"Only the stony of heart could fail to fall in love with clever, competent, resolute Alice or, for that matter, the supporting cast that includes her adorable parents and a host of unfailingly interesting ancestors. Well cast, well told, but mostly just terrific." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "This mesmerizing Monster House-flavored tale is packed with oodles of heart." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An unconventional ghost story with an unusual heroine and a satisfying conclusion." -- Booklist, Praise for The Lemonade Crime: "The realistic depiction of the children's emotions and ways of expressing them will resonate with readers. Great for discussion, this involving and, at times, riveting chapter book has something to say and a deceptively simple way of saying it." -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for Sydney and Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World: "An enduring friendship wins the day in this chapter-book adventure." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for Sydney and Taylor Explore the Whole Wide World: "With a nod to The Wind in the Willows... Davies sends an odd-couple pair of animal burrow mates out to explore the 'whole wide world.'" -- Booklist (starred review) Praise for The Boy Who Drew Birds: "This winsomely imagined account of an episode when Audubon was 18 years old joins the flocks of commemorative works. Sweet's illustrations soar." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "Only the stony of heart could fail to fall in love with clever, competent, resolute Alice or, for that matter, the supporting cast that includes her adorable parents and a host of unfailingly interesting ancestors.

SynopsisIn this not-so-scary ghost story from Jacqueline Davies, bestselling author of the Lemonade War series, quirky, tool-wielding Alice Cannoli-Potchnik begins to repair the dilapidated mansion next door--only to discover the old house is home to ghosts, and they need mending, too! Home is where the heart is. But can a house have a heart of its own? Ten-year-old Alice is moving for the eleventh time. She's lived in so many houses, each more broken than the last, that home to Alice is nothing more than a place you fix and then a place you leave. After all, who needs a permanent home when you're a whiz at fixing things? But when Alice arrives at her new home, she can't take her eyes off the house next door, the stately dark house that hulked in the dimming light. The once-grand mansion, now dilapidated and condemned, beckons Alice; it's the perfect new repair job! As Alice begins to restore the House to its former splendor, she senses strange presences. Is there a heartbeat coming from the House's walls? Is someone looking at her? Soon she realizes she's not alone. Three ghosts have been watching, and they need Alice's help to solve their unfinished business. Will Alice be able to unravel the mysteries of the House and find her forever home . . . before it's too late?
