A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale., "A fast-paced story that mixes scares and history for some can't-put-it-down fun."- Kirkus Reviews   "A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale."- The Bulletin, "A fast-paced story that mixes scares and history for some can't-put-it-down fun."-- Kirkus Reviews  "A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale."-- The Bulletin, "A fast-paced story that mixes scares and history for some can't-put-it-down fun.-- Kirkus Reviews  "A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale.-- The Bulletin, A fast-paced story that mixes scares and history for some can't-put-it-down fun."- Kirkus Reviews A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale."- The Bulletin, "A fast-paced story that mixes scares and history for some can't-put-it-down fun."--Kirkus Reviews "A spooky last-minute plot twist, a bittersweet climax, and a humorous conclusion helps make this an unusually rich and thoughtful supernatural tale."--The Bulletin --, Grade 4-7-Vande Velde continues her string of historical ghost stories, this time focusing on the Underground Railroad. The first-person narrator, 11-year-old Ted, is certain that his house in Rochester, NY, can't be haunted because it has been in his family for generations and there have been no secrets to speak of in its past. Then his five-year-old sister Vicki's imaginary friend Marella and the "bad lady" who seems to be chasing her prove themselves to be all too real. Ted decides to get to the bottom of the mystery and finds a journal belonging to one of his ancestors. It recounts the tragic story of two runaway slaves, a mother and her five-year-old daughter, who drowned in the Erie Canal, which used to run through the family's backyard. The story culminates in Ted and Vicki being possessed by the spirits in order to help them move on. The secondary characters include busy parents barely present; a typical teenage brother; and a trendy, smart-talking cousin. However, the plot has original twists and the journal passages are nicely integrated into a story with some genuine chills. The penultimate chapter unnecessarily switches to present tense when Adah, the mother's spirit, possesses Ted. Nonetheless, there is sufficient humor, action, and scariness to keep readers engaged. A good choice for fans of Bruce Coville's "Nina Tanleven" series (Bantam).

He has ghosts in his house. His five-year-old sister, Vicki, is the first to see them; she starts keeping a hammer under her pillow for protection. Then, 11-year-old Ted dreams of mud, drowning and cobwebby fingers touching his face. Naturally, their parents don't believe these ghostly accounts of undead residents, so the children are on their own to do the supernatural sleuthing. The ghosts soon progress to the usual haunting activities of slamming doors, stealing keys and tipping over school projects. They appear on cable TV and even show up in a museum elevator. But why? Only when Ted unravels a mystery involving the Underground Railroad and reveals the ghosts' identities can peace be restored. Vande Velde's (Tales From the Brothers Grimm and Sisters Weird) dialogue has a natural cadence and the plot unfolds at a brisk pace. And the African-American ghosts provide an intriguing counterpoint to a thoroughly modern houseful of children, who learn a history lesson strong enough to chill their bones. Ages 10-up.

    Love it! It arrived securely packed, unscathed and in working order. It was exactly as described and the seller made me an offer since I liked the item online. It was less expensive that the others sold on ebay so it was a value in my book. The package arrived quickly. It had batteries too. This was a replacement for the one I received as a gift years ago and had stopped chirping. The household is happy with our purchase :)
