Review Summaries

"When Sarah and her family move in a beautiful house, and she gets a room to herself, she is the happiest person in the world. But then her Mom invites Aunt Margaret to stay for a few weeks. Aunt Margaret sleeps in Sarah's room. When no one is home except Aunt Margaret and Sarah, strange things start happening. Things start moving by themselves and the rocking chair starts rocking! The art of an artist starts changing! The air turns cold. Why are strange things happening and who's causing them? A ghost is suspected."
