Gr 9 Up—As a child, Chloe Kennedy saw ghosts, but her mother taught her to control the spirits, and Chloe managed to shut them out. After her mother dies, Chloe's grief allows the spirits to manifest again, and when her father agrees to send her to her grandmother's house in the south of England, Chloe quickly learns that some ghosts can even talk—Alexander Reade has been dead for 157 years, yet he is still haunting Grange Hall. Emily Foster's varied voices and charismatic narration are the best part of a formulaic, not especially well-written story. A supplemental purchase for high school or public library collections where ghost stories are popular.—Elizabeth L. Kenyon, Merrillville High School, IN
